You can always tell when you study the life of a prophet that the Lord has had His hand in his life from the beginning, says Sheri Dew, author of Go Forward with Faith. She also wrote the first biography of Ezra Taft Benson.
President Hinckley made his own time available for interviews and feedback and allowed Sheri to interview his family, personal friends, and colleagues, including both of his counselors in the First Presidency and each member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He also made available personal writings, including talks, records, and journals, as well as personal and family photographs.
He is a wonderful human being, and he happens to be a wonderful human being whom the Lord has tutored, and trained, and refined, and molded for this day, testifies Sheri Dew.
