Visions of Freedom: Wilford Woodruff and the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
American Fork: Covenant Communications, 2015. First printing. Paperback. 271pp
In 1877, among the red rocks of Southern Utah, the signers of the Declaration of Independence twice visited a sleeping Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Wilford Woodruff recounted these vivid visions a number of times during his life—because they were more than forgettable dreams. The men gathered around him demanded action. They knew Woodruff had just helped inaugurate proxy temple ordinances for faithful family members who had died, and now they wanted those same ordinances—they wanted spiritual freedom.
But who were these men who came to Woodruff? Some stand like titans—Franklin, Jefferson, Hancock, John Adams, and ¬Samuel Adams. Others are lesser known yet had a huge influence on the passage of the Declaration and on the founding of the United States of America. These noble men who came to Woodruff by night brought resounding justification to a church rejected by the nation; the founders of freedom were coming to the Mormons for what only those people could give them—salvation. The requests in Woodruff’s dreams were quickly fulfilled, and each Signer of the Declaration of Independence had his temple work completed. Condition: Fine. Item #25875
