We used this for our scripture study each day and the kids really looked forward to reading it! We also used the activities in family night with older siblings. The younger ones enjoyed sharing what they learned with the family through the activities. The favorites were Nephi's family and Captain Moroni. The final page is Jesus Christ. What a beautiful way to end! There is also a commitment of living an aspect of the gospel on each page. Loved that!

I really enjoyed this guide to the various peoples and prophets in the Book of Mormon. It is beautifully illustrated and organized in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand format. I read much of this book to my g'little who really enjoyed the history of the prophet and the activities that are interspersed in each account. The activities help make the lessons to become more current and understandable for younger children.

Whether for the individual who needs some assistance keeping all of the Ites straight, parents who want to give their children a foundation of a Book of Mormon characters, or a person teaching in the Church, this wonderfully illustrated book personalizes and humanizes. It’s terrific!

I LOVE the sub-title~ an illustrated guide to the people in the Book of Mormon

And that is EXACTLY what the AMAZING book is!

As you open the book you get this incredible two-page spread on 52 people(s) from ancient times.

You will read a short synopsis and learn fascinating details.

There is also a short lesson, scriptures, a question to ponder and an activity for each...giving you "52 family night" subjects to study.

Bold colors and fun icons keep the attention of young and old alike.

You will learn the lesson from Nephi of being obedient...

Can you go one week without murmuring like Laman and Lemuel?

What can you learn from King Noah or King Lamoni?

Do you know who the Anti-Nephi-Lehies were or Korihor?

Grab this book and gather your family around for some interesting weeks ahead.
You will be SO GLAD you did!
