About Product:
A fun, fascinating way to learn Church history, through the eyes of Latter-day Saint children from Africa. In this new release from Digital Legend Press, readers discover the basics of Church History in delightfully drawn, comic-book-style illustrations created by award-winning artist William Rosoanaivo (POV) who hails from Madagascar, Africa.
Brilliant illustrations combined with the history knowledge of acclaimed researcher and Church Historian, Jonathan Neville, will teach youngsters and their parents faithful, time-honored portrayals of Church history in ways that support and corroborate faith-affirming, traditional teachings.
Lemurs, Chameleons and Gold Plates is the first in a series of illustrated Church history and scripture books. This series of books will become treasures in an era when traditional teachings are often "reinterpreted" by modern scholars. These books earnestly seek to describe important Church history stories, just as they are described in demonstrably faithful and trusted historical documents such as the Joseph Smith Papers.
Lemurs, Chameleons and Gold Plates emphasizes established historical facts as well as some that have - in recent years - been altered or deleted from various history publications, topics such as:
the Hill Cumorah - its location, history, and role in ancient times as well as in the modern era;
the divine role of Moroni in the preservation and protection of the golden plates;
translation of gold plates by means of a device called Urim and Thummim;
the role of the Three Nephites in early Restoration events;
the bearded gentleman or messenger identified as "Nephi" by Joseph Smith and Mary Whitmer;
the fact that the small plates of Nephi were returned to a room or cave in the Hill Cumorah by Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery;
