Book of Mormon Stories for Children

Now you might suppose this is foolishness, but I say, that by small and simple things, great things are brought to pass. In many instances, small means doth confound the wise … Fleeing their homes to escape foretold destruction, Lehi, his family and a few friends leave their homeland. Lonely wanderers, they settle far across the sea in a wilderness paradise. And, their lives pass away, as if in a dream. Lehi’s descendants multiply and fill the entire face of the land, building up an advanced civilization. But, at the height of their achievements, wickedness and warfare cause their entire culture to crumble and decay. Utter desolation wipes almost every trace of their history from the face of the land. Who will remember this lost, scattered tribe or the promises yet to be fulfilled through them? Down through the centuries, only a faint memory of these things remains. Then – a glimmer – the discovery of an ancient record, and its thin, metallic pages reveal the truth of the past, undimmed by the passage of time. The voices of the past will speak out of the dust … This comprehensive collection covers almost every major historic event found in the Book of Mormon. Written for upper elementary ages, the stories are designed to both entertain and instruct young readers regarding the Book of Mormon saga. This collection teaches readers the history of one particular broken branch of Jacob’s lineage. Its prophecies inspire hope for the work God has yet to do among the Gentiles and the House of Israel in these latter days. NOTE: Scripture references are based on the RLDS 1908 publication of the Book of Mormon.
