History of Patriarch Fred C. Collier, Vol. 1 traces Brother Collier’s childhood, family background, early spiritual awakening, and deepening devotion to the Restored Gospel. The volume follows the providential path that led him from youthful searching and revelation to his August 1970 meeting with Ross W. LeBaron, his baptism, and his ordination in the Patriarchal Priesthood.
This personal history opens a window into the convictions, sacrifices, questions, and sacred experiences that shaped Brother Collier’s life’s work. Readers who want to understand the man behind the publications will find here a candid account of the roots of his testimony, his search for Priesthood authority, and the spiritual setting behind his later labors for the Church of the Firstborn.
