Have you ever imagined the scene of the Savior's visit to the Americas? What would it have been like to see Christ descent out of the heavens? These scenes and many others are presented in the pages of this book. Visually stunnihg images showcase the climax of the Book of Mormon. Full of raw emotion and passion, these photographs capture the feeling of those unforgettable moments. Full -color and black and white pictures bring the story of Third Nephi to life through depictions of the devastation and destruction following the crucifixation, of the Savior Appearance, and of Him teaching and embracing the people
Another beautiful collection by Mark Mabry. Sometimes the scriptures used seemed too long, but at the same time they fit very nicely with the depictions.
In this new follow-up to Mark's first book on Reflections of Christ, he shows us more of his photographic artistry with beautiful images of Christ's appearing in the Americas. I got goosebumps just reading how he was able to get the right setting for the photographs and how the actors came alive in pretending to be the real people. With both imagary and scriptures interwoven through each page, you can feel the spirit testify of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. This is a wonderful tool for spreading the Gospel message of the divinity of Jesus Christ, especially when He's needed so much at this specific time in America's history. Having the DVD as a companion piece is an extra plus. This makes a wonderful Christmas gift to set out on a coffee table as a great conversation tool.
This book is full of images accompanied by scripture from 3 Nephi 11 and on. They tell the story of Christ's visit to the Americas. Mark and crew went to South America and found temple ruins and shot on site with the native people there. Again, the Preface in this book sheds a lot of light on the project and gives insights that will help you better appreciate the images that follow. I found the emotions portrayed endearing. They only added to my enjoyment of this particular section of the Book of Mormon. I would highly recommend this book. It comes in a DVD also and the music that is set to the images increases the spiritual power. Very moving.
This is the second book of Mark Mabry's that Cody (my husband) got me for Christmas of '09. I love it!!! It's so amazing. The perfect coffee table book. :)
