I, Nephi...

by Robert H. Moss

Nephi...engraver of golden plates, prophet of ancient American, son, father, whose nation was destined to perish by the sword of his brothers, Laman and Lemuel.

But what about the childhood of Nephi? What about his journeys in the wilderness with his father? What gave this mighty man of God the strength he needed to build a ship under the Lord's guidance and to control the constant anger of his rebellious brothers?

Answers to these intriguing questions are often no more than conjecture. Events of Nephi's life can, however, be given the flesh of fiction.

Experience gained when Nephi was young is told in colorful detail as he travels in a desert caravan with his merchant father, Lehi.

I, Nephi... is warm, colorful, believable fiction. The reader will be caught and held as the life of this remarkable man of God involves and changes the lives of those around him.
