In Memoriam: Richard H. Cracroft

September 27, 2012

Dialogue author and former Associate Editor Richard H. Cracroft passed away last week and in honor of his life, we bring back his classic review of President Spencer W. Kimball’s The Miracle of Forgiveness wherein he says “Throughout, however, Elder Kimball’s message is clear: he, like the Lord, will not tolerate the sin, but he will love the sinner. This gentle but authoritative tone becomes a pattern in his correspondence (from which he quotes frequently), a pattern of practical advice coupled with spirituality. President Kimball clearly feels comfortable in blending the short and the long range to achieve happiness in human relationships.” Click in his full observations.
