Personal Standards that Guided My Writing of
Joseph Smith: America's Greatest Educator

Strive to write under the influence of the Spirit.

Construct the text so critics inside and outside the Church could respect it.

Make the message theologically accurate—acceptable to Church authorities.

Keep the vocabulary in the story-line simple enough for ordinary readers.

Make the writing style respectable in a literary sense.

Seek to write so Joseph Smith would feel good about the message.
