Honoring the Life and Legacy of a Prophet" is a collection of historic

photos and images, interviews with the prophet and his family, and

footage from the 13 years he spent as president of the LDS Church.The production features President Hinckley recounting several experiences that defined his

faith, including the conviction he felt as a youth sitting in a

priesthood meeting in the old 10th Ward, and the letter he received

from his father while a discouraged missionary in England, telling him

to "forget himself and go to work."The DVD is a life portrait of the prophet, from his early

years as a student in the Great Depression to his call as an apostle

and, eventually, as president of the church. It highlights the defining

moments of President Hinckley's service as prophet, including his

extensive world travel and his unprecedented interaction with media."President Gordon B. Hinckley" (2008) is distributed by Excel Entertainment.
