I already read her comment. I just want to know why he was not able to attend this movie premiere.

Jake – don’t know the specifics. However, his daughter posted a comment earlier saying he was sad not to be able to attend.

Why was Austin Garner not there? Was he sick because of his old age? Or was he at the hospital or at his home?

Granddaughter – Thanks for posting. I also wish he had been able to attend. It would have been wonderful to meet him. Glad you were there on his behalf.

Grandpa was not able to attend the premiere. My husband and I attend in his stead. We really wish he would have been able to be there.

Not to just blatantly self-promote, but to answer Howie’s issue raised: The Gordon B. Hinckley movie is included in a Living Scriptures series called The Modern Prophets. Films have been made about 15 Presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (so far) including Kimball, Benson and Hunter. Not all have been made by the same directors, but each captures the personality of the life and person — as well as the ministry and faith-building stories — of each prophet of God.

Howie, of course all prophets are great. Your comment reminds me of a petulant child who when their parent compliments a sibling, immediatly takes it as a personal slight.

And here I thought all prophets were great.

I guess Hunter wasn’t in office long enough, Kimball was obsessed with sin and stuff, and Benson was an invalid for a lot of his term. Can’t make a movie about them, even though they deserve it more. They never shied away from “telling it like it is.”

Hi Jake – Unfortunately, I do not have a photo of Brother Garner. Perhaps one of our readers will come forward.

I received this video as a Christmas present from my sweet wife Linda. I watched it Christmas morning. I could not control the tears that constantly came to my eyes as I watched it. What a remarkable movie!!! I can’t tell you how much I appreciated it. Rarely has any movie touched me as this one has. Please know how much I appreciate the work you have gone to to make this such an inspiration! It’s a testimony to me that such men (prophets) as President Hinckley have not accomplished such great things without the humility and perseverance that our Savior asks of us, and that his legacy did not come without such trials that come to each of us in order to accomplish worthwhile works as well. Thanks again. I wish I could personally meet you and shake your hand to extend my sincerity.
