Summary "The Life of John Taylor" by B. H. Roberts is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the life of John Taylor, who served as the third president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was an influential leader during the church's formative years. The book seeks to provide an in-depth exploration of Taylor's character, his notable achievements, and his significant contributions to the church amid the tumultuous backdrop of early Mormon history. At the start of the account, the author introduces John Taylor's lineage and early life, emphasizing his humble origins and the qualities that would later establish him as a leader within the Mormon faith. The opening chapters reflect on Taylor's youth, his early spiritual experiences, and his path toward embracing Mormonism after becoming acquainted with its teachings. As the narrative develops, it becomes clear that Taylor's life is intertwined with the church's narrative, involving significant events such as his ordination, ministry, and experiences amid the persecution faced by early Mormons, as well as his deep commitment to his faith and its principles.
