President Wilford Woodruff said that section 76 of the Doctrine and Covenants is "a revelation which gives more light, more truth, and more principle than any revelation contained in any book we read." Elder Melvin J. Ballard called it "the greatest revelation the Lord, Jesus Christ, has ever given to man, so far as record is made." Few, however, know of Joseph Smith's remarkable rendering of this revelation in poetic form. Viewed as one of his most personal and significant writings, this poetic interpretation adds insight and clarification to the revelation Joseph called "the Vision." -- amazon.com
