Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
12 June 1906Love feeds and grows on love, and while it grows, it increases the capacity of the soul for loving. So our love was perfect when I kissed you at the altar; it is perfect today; it will be perfect when the century strikes halfpast; it will be perfect eternally. from the bookDavid O. McKay served as president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints from 1951 until his death in 1970. A devout and devoted leader, he was no less devoted to his beloved wife, Emma Ray McKay. In this collection of letters from the David Oman McKay Papers at the J. Willard Marriott Library of the University of Utah, McKays courtship of Emma Ray Riggs and the early days of the couples marriage are revealed in his own words.The McKays were married in the Salt Lake Latterday Saints Temple on January 2, 1901, the first sealing of the twentieth century. They became known as the churchs happiest couple. One of the things that cultivated that happiness were the poems and expressions of endearment McKay presented his wife, offerings he referred to as 'heart petals'. The letters collected here are replete with touching examples of those gifts of love.Throughout this correspondence, McKay reveals his innermost feelings, joys, heartaches, and determinations, imparting a wealth of insights into his personal, caring nature and documenting his growth from a young, inexperienced missionary to a mature leader within the LDS Church. But most striking of all in these letters is the blossoming of a true, devoted love that lasted over seventy years.
