Wallace Jeffs was born the thirtieth child of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints’ prophet, Rulon Jeffs, and is the half-brother of the current prophet, Warren Jeffs. Raised as a devout FLDS member, he was eventually excommunicated after daring to defy one of his brother’s self-serving commandments. After the FLDS prophet kidnapped his children in retribution, Wallace worked with the FBI, various Sheriff departments, and local authorities, to insure that his deranged brother would never be allowed to hurt a young girl again.

Wallace is the devoted father of twenty children and stepfather to eight. He resides in Salt Lake City, Utah. Wallace acts as a resource for those seeking to flee the FLDS community and is an outspoken advocate for human rights and the protection of all innocent children.

Millions of youth and adults are suffering from depression. Thousands have given up. The underlying cause of suicide is an unbearable pain derived from a pervasive sense of hopelessness, a loss or lack of connection to others, and a life-long pattern of self destruction. Music has been clinically proven to calm anxiety and ease pain. The Worth of Souls features a team of award-winning recording artists who’ve produced an altruistic album of original and award-winning contemporary Christian songs that promote the Savior’s unconditional love and mercy. This album plants seeds of faith and restores confidence in ourselves. It is an effective tool to share with the prodigal, the faithful, the unbeliever, the saint.

“I know firsthand the emotional and spiritual depths to which depression and disillusionment with life can take us. In addition to sensitive and caring loved ones and friends, nothing lifted my spirits and spoke peace more powerfully during my darkest days, than beautiful and inspiring music. While God has a myriad of ways by which He can work His miracles in our lives, very often His divine Spirit heals the broken heart, plants hope, and give perspective and purpose through the thoughtful and prayerful work of gifted and inspired musicians. In that spirit, I applaud the artists and producers of WORTH OF SOULS. Their tender and Christ-like offering is a life changing gift to all who will receive it.”
