Bodyguard to the Prophet

By Larry Mullins

When Larry Mullins was tasked with developing a security program to protect the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he was instructed to tell no one except his wife. Decades later, when President Gordon B. Hinckley’s televised funeral brought the role of prophets’ security detail into the public eye, Larry knew the time had finally come to divulge his remarkable insights.
In Bodyguard to the Prophet, Larry reveals the unique understanding he gained while serving alongside the beloved prophet Spencer W. Kimball. You’ll learn
The logistics: What it takes to protect the President of the Church.
The threats: Why it was necessary to protect the “prophet of peace.”
The stories: What it was like to get help teaching Sunday School lessons from a prophet, how Sister Kimball felt about living with a security detail, and what life is like behind the scenes of Church leadership.
Bodyguard to the Prophet not only offers a view of the prophet from a whole new perspective, it also reminds us that with enough faith and diligence, we can each serve as a usable tool in the Lord’s hand.
