Spencer W. Kimball being unable to speak because of his throat cancer was unique among leaders of men as a listener rather than a talker. This ability has made him contemplative in his prayer life and given him the gift to hear God, this coupled with the Charasmatic office of Prophet has made his presidency a great one. Just as all milkmen are not as good all prophets are not as good.

Marked as needing some work but deleted - preserving here in case someone wants to edit for neutrality:
- During his apostleship, Elder Kimball's labors spanned the globe as he served both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints along with other people he came in contact with. Primary duties included visiting and organizing stakes, wards, and branches of the Church, calling missionaries, performing temple marriages, and teaching the Mormon religion. Dedicated to the people whom he served, he spent much of his time interviewing, teaching, and counselling members and others about how to live Christ-centered lives.
- Spencer found himself teaching the principles of repentance and forgiveness quite frequently. Referring to many of the same scriptures and teachings over and over, he wondered if his notes might be used to serve more than those he could meet with personally. In response to this need, he compiled his oft used notes and scripture references in book form, and titled it; "The Miracle of Forgiveness".
