		Autobiography is not the story of a life; it is the recreation or the discovery of one.
		Often, of course, autobiography is merely a collection of well-rehearsed anecdotes; but, intelligently written, it is the revelation, to the reader and the writer, of the writer's conception of the life he or she has lived.

	Mormon Biography and Autobiography
		Biography and its sister, autobiography, are genres congenial to Mormonism.
		In this sense biography and autobiography are akin to Mormon history, for in much Mormon writing the three genres trace the hand of Providence in leading a chosen son or daughter to eternal life; all three become, in a sense, forms of spiritual autobiography.
		Treatments of the lives of leaders, especially of presidents of the Church, continue to be popular among the Saints, who prefer brief and faith-promoting accounts of spiritual events rather than comprehensive and scholarly examinations of influences, intellectual development, and intimate details of the lives of famous Mormons.
