J. Golden Kimball Stories by James Kimball

Being a fan of J. Golden Kimball, I really enjoyed this book. The stories in J. Golden Kimball Stories by James Kimball are hilarious, clean (mostly) and entertaining.
It would have been interesting to have lived during his time and listened to him speak, either in a formal or informal setting. But I think to J. Golden Kimball, he managed to make some formal situations pretty informal. J. Golden Kimball was a high ranking official in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints until his death in the late 1930s. Despite expectations that he be serious, prim, and proper, he wasn't. He was a very kind, compassionate person, but at the same time, he said it how it was. Sometimes with a few colorful explitives to enhance his sentences. As a result, he was absolutely hiliarious, and people still tell his stories today, in the 21st century. The book is an entertaining read for any one who enjoys humor, especially members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons as we're often called) but anyone who likes funny stories would enjoy this book.
