Today we watched the movie "Gordon B. Hinckley: A Giant Among Men". Purchased through Living Scriptures, it was sweet and very well done. I laughed when the young Gordon ate soap after swearing (the Lord's name) in front of his mother, marveled at his idyllic young life, reflected upon viewing his mission experiences, and cried when he lost his dear wife. The title captures the thoughts of many who learned from this gifted prophet. Words to describe him would include: charismatic, humble, active, strong, humorous, poetic, refined and yet simple, and brilliant. I loved hearing his voice and testimony throughout the movie and am grateful that my children had the opportunity to hear and learn from him as well, particularly Emma. We watched the funeral proceedings and cried together. We miss him.
I have heard about this movie. My father-in-law said he was going to give one to all of his kids and I am looking forward to watching it.
