Commentary To Books Of Goodly Parents (Out of Jerusalem #1)
I enjoyed Heather Moore's book about Queen Esther so I thought I'd try listening to her series "Out of Jerusalem". This recounts the story of Lehi and his family leaving Jerusalem to head out to the Promised Land. The first one of the series is "Of Goodly Parents" recounting Lehi receiving the revelation to leave Jerusalem before its destruction. The story is familiar and its enjoyment is magnified by Heather's well researched cultural, historical and religious insights. She gives names and personalities to all the women (besides Sariah) and it adds so much to the story. Nephi is my favorite Book of Mormon prophet and this confirms what an amazingly forgiving person he was. He never lost sight of the ultimate goal and was forever trying to help his brothers along the way, even when they definitely didn't deserve it. I've always thought it would have been easier to leave Laman and Lemuel behind but really, goodly parents would never do that. They keep working and hoping for the best. I am avidly listening to the second installment. Highly recommended!Rating Epithetical Books Of Goodly Parents (Out of Jerusalem #1)

I've seen this series in the bookstore but have never felt compelled to pick it up until a friend of mine recommended it (who also happens to know the author). It was a very interesting story - taking the account of Lehi and his family leaving Jerusalem from the scriptures. It was very well researched and documented with pages of notes and citations at the end of the book to correspond with each chapter. The writing was good and the story was told in an easy-to-read way. It made the people seemThis is my own book, and while I'd love to give it a stellar 5 star rating, it is my FIRST published book. Any author wishes they could rewrite their first novel. If nothing else, it's straight from the heart.
I absolutely loved this book series!!! It was wonderful to follow Nephi and his family through their journey to the Americas. The author used the actual story of Nephi and his family but gave their wives names and personalities. It was adventurous as the family encounters the dangers of their journey but it was also emotional to experience the family breakup and all the troubles that brought. I highly recommend this book series!
Love this book & love this series! It really brought the Book of Mormon to life for me. I feel like I know the people in the Book of Mormon better & I understand the culture & environment of the time much more than before.The only problem now is remembering which parts are fiction and which parts are scriptural!
I got into this book immediately. I loved how she made the Book of Mormon Characters come alive. It helped me see them as real people living their lives with many of the same worries that I have or have had. I can't wait to read the next volumes.
It gave me a new insight to the Book Of Mormon.
I really enjoyed this series! I found all four of the books in the series rivetting! I was obsessed about getting them read, and finished them in 5 days. These books are based on the story of Lehi and Nephi and their family's journey through the wilderness to the promised land. A great read!
