Some Book Reviews:Andre rated it 5/5 stars - it was amazingThe author now lives and owns a store and does business in Nauvoo. In this book, he tells the miraculous story of the Lord bringing him to Nauvoo and preparing him so that when the new Mormon temple was to be constructed he was there with the unique skills needed to build authentic windows and doors reflecting those created for the original 1840's Temple. Brother Allen told this story to sisters attending a Relief Society Conference in Nauvoo. I accompanied my wife to this conference. A small tornado struck Nauvoo the night before his talk. We viewed that tornado knock down trees and wreck cars from our motel window and ripped the motel's front door from off its hinges. Coming from the west somehow it bypassed the Temple and no damage was done to it. Richard rated it 4/5 stars - really liked itAllen makes and restores old building’s windows using materials as much as possible similar to the ones used at the time of the building a particular house or building. He helped restore Mark Twain’s home in Hannibal Missouri. Allen lives in Nauvoo. When the Nauvoo LDS temple building was announced, he was asked if he would like to build the windows for the temple using his skill and knowledge of old windows. He reluctantly accepted the challenge to build the windows as close to the original as possible. This book quotes directly from his personal journal that he kept daily during the project. It describes overwhelming responsibilities associated with the invitation to build temple windows and front doors. It tells of solutions and help provided by the Spirit for efforts that was required beyond normal talents and abilities. A very readable and inspiring book. A testimony of journal writing. Mzford rated it 4/5 stars - really liked itI enjoyed reading the back story of the making of the beautiful Nauvoo temple windows, especially because I am here and can see them up close and personal. This is written in a journal format, so much of it is day to day repetition of tasks accomplished. Some terms were unfamiliar to me in the actual procedures, but the testimony of the author is most compelling of God's involvement every step of the way. I can certainly appreciate the attention and care to detail to replicate in every possible way the initial construction methods. Corners could have been cut in production which most of us would never notice, but now for me, I look and admire with new eyes of wonder. Copyright © 2018-2023 TDM Inc.
