I have wanted to include the Christmas story from the Book of Morman in our family’s Christmas Eve nativity play for years. This book makes it so easy to include this Christmas story from the Book of Mormon. Thank you so much!

NoelVerified buyer I smiled the whole time reading this beautiful story! Well written and illustrated for today’s children and adults alike! I love the familiar rhythm of the prose.
LeeAnn J.Verified buyer I love this simple well written story from the viewpoint of the Nephites. It will become a tradition at my family’s Christmas Eve program. I have given copies to my children along with the copy of the new Hymn, “Star Brite”.

Kate A.Verified buyer Really fun twist on a classic christmas story! My 4 year old son loves it :)
NateVerified buyer I love this book! My grandma used to include the story of Samuel the Lamanite and the sign during our Christmas story telling. She would be thrilled to know someone else did something to make that a yearly tradition. The illustration is awesome and the words makes it clear that the author loves and cherishes the nephites and the Book of Mormon. What a wonderful opportunity to have this book in my home to read yearly now! I love the star and the dove.
Candice A.Verified buyer An absolute, beautiful. And worthwhile story! I love to read it and the illustrations were absolutely gorgeous! I only wish I had this book last week when I was talking to my kids about Samuel! I really encourage everyone to get this book and read it and enjoy it every Christmas. Unless you enjoy Christmas all year like me, in which case you will read it all the time!
