4.0 out of 5 stars Great For Mormon Children!!, April 12 2004

This review is from: Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites (Paperback)

I liked the premise of this book... a couple of kids going back in time among the Nephites and Lamanites of old to experience their hardships, learn to apply touch lessons into their lives, and learn to love The Book of Mormon. This story focuses on the time a few years after the Title of Liberty was raised by Captain Moroni.

This is the story of Jim who is in need of a spiritual experience to increase his faith and bring him back into the fold of the church. He has help from his friend, Garth, a Book of Mormon expert, as they accidentally go back in time while searching some old caves. Jim's little sister (Jenny) comes along as well and gets kidnapped by the Lamanites. Jim befriends many common Book of Mormon heroes as they try to save Jenny and get back home.

For children over 9 or 10, this is a GREAT read. It really brings the Book of Mormon to life. For adults, well, I found it a little bit childish for my tastes but I have heard that the following books are more mature. I'm looking forward to reading more about these types of adventures. My only real complaint was that the ending seemed to wrap itself up too quickly. It was almost like the author was tired of writing the book and just wrote to get it over with in a hurry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, even for the non-"mormony" type, Mar 14 2004

This review is from: Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites (Paperback)

This, is a great book. Everyone at my school is reading it. At first I thought it would be very stupid, I didn't want another church book to read. But, when I started I couldn't stop. If find this book, and you read the first 10 pages your pretty much out of luck. It's too late, you won't be able to put it down. A must read for any LDS kid.
