My First Book of Mormon Activity Book by Laura Lee Rostrom

This book is a great way for babies to start learning about the Book of Mormon. If they can't understand what the actual words from the Book of Mormon are saying, this book will be a great source for them. It will teach them about the people in the Book of Mormon and that might increase their testimonies about it by the time they would go to primary in the future. You can actually find it from the LDS bookstore.

The Scholar of Moab by Steven L. Peck

The Scholar of Moab is about a guy who's trying to become a scholar and he is struggling with his life as a Mormon. He likes to attend church, but he feels that he doesn't have his faith. He ends up stealing a dictionary and burning the library to keep the evidence away from the cops. But the ward heard about it, and they thought it was the communists and the Gadianton Robbers trying to take over Moab and destroy the LDS church. He felt like wanting to confess what really happened, but nobody in the ward would ever believe him, because they think he's too much of a good guy to do anything like that. I recommend this book is more appropriate for adults, not because it has sketchy things happening, but it also has grammar that might be hard to understand while reading it. It is also supposed to be funny, but I don't think most younger people would understand the humor.

The Christmas Train: A True Story by Thomas S. Monson

The President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Thomas S. Monson, wrote a true story from his childhood about learning the importance of giving, especially around a favorite holiday of the year. I recommend that this book is totally appropriate for elementary school children all the way up to adults. It will also teach the lesson that President Monson learned and why it is better to give than to receive. You can find this book at a store called Deseret Book or you can still order it from Amazon.

The Backslider by Levi S. Peterson

I never actually read the entire book, but I did have to read the last chapter for my Mormon Lit class. From what I noticed during the book, it takes place in the early days of the church in Utah. It talks about a Mormon cowboy who's still struggling with being perfect in his life. He especially wants to baptize his wife, but he doesn't feel worthy. I recommend you don't read this to children because it's more an adult book. So if you're an adult over 20 years of age, it's appropriate for you, but not for children or adolescents.

A Dinosaur Goes to Church: Written by Candas M. Elder and Illustrated by Jennifer Eichelberger

I haven't read this book, but I've heard it's one of the most humorous LDS books to read to preschoolers. It will also teach children about the importance of being reverent at all times, especially when going to church to worship. this would be a really good book to keep in your church bag for sacrament meeting.

Tennis Shoes Adventure Series by Chris Heimerdinger

This first set of books and author I'm going to talk about is a Book of Mormon fiction series called the Tennis Shoes Adventure Series. It's all written by Chris Heimerdinger. He's written about 12 books in this series to teach every teenager about how the Book of Mormon would come to life if a person were to experience what it would be like to go to the past and an ancient time. It could also teach about what the Book of Mormon says, even though these characters aren't actually part of the Book of Mormon. This book cover I'm showing you is the first book of the series. It talks about a teenage boy who's struggling with his life, especially when it comes to knowing what the Church has been trying to teach him. He also has a friend who's so enthusiastic with the Church that he never doubted about it. These two friends go into a cave with his sister to see if they can find treasure, but they end up back in Book of Mormon times. They start to learn from their experience that the Book of Mormon is a true book. I don't want to explain the entire plot, because I'm pretty sure all of you want to read this book and possibly the entire series. Here's a link on Amazon where you can order online and then it'll come to you in the next days from the day you ordered it.

Welcome

Welcome to this blog called LDS Lit. Reviews. I'm Dog Walker from many other blogs, including Twelve Makes a Dozen. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and a returned missionary. This blog I created is all about different stories from members of the LDS church that you can learn about. You might not be a member of this Church, but the authors will surely explain about their perspectives of the church through the books that they've written. It could even give you the big picture of what the LDS church has to offer, and you can think about if you would like to join the church or not. (I know some missionaries would be happy to meet with you!) These are mostly fictional stories that contain lifelong lessons and humor in the books that you might find inspiring to learn and love. Check out the links on the tabs above to show some of the greatest LDS literature. Good luck and have fun seeing the books I've put up so you can see how exciting they will be, and maybe decide if you want to read them. And if you know of a book we should add to the review, just let me know in the comments.
