About This Book

A biographical narrative for young readers recounts a prophetic family's departure from Jerusalem and the son's spiritual growth as he helps found a new community in a distant promised land. The account follows visions and divine communications, the recovery and safeguarding of sacred records, episodes of family dissent and reconciliation, a miraculous directional instrument, and the daily hardships of travel and settlement. Emphasis falls on faith, obedience, moral instruction, and the responsibilities of leadership, presented in a devotional tone intended to encourage study of sacred teachings and strengthen the religious convictions of the rising generation.
