President Kimball taught
extensively the principles of repentance and forgiveness. At age 74, his book The Miracle
of Forgiveness was published. Of this writing and
of his teaching, Elder Boyd K. Packer
recorded, quote, "President Kimball himself is an
experienced surgeon of sorts-- not a doctor of medicine, but a
doctor of spiritual well-being. Many a moral cancer
has been excised. Many a blemish of
character has been removed. Many a spiritual illness
of one kind or another has been cured
through his efforts. Some on the verge of
spiritual oblivion have been rescued by him. He has written a book literally
years in preparation-- The Miracle of Forgiveness. Many have been protected by
the council he has written. Countless others
have been inspired to set their lives in order and
have experienced that miracle," end quote.
