Nephi and Sariah's Excellent Adventure
by
C. Gordon Young, Ph.D
When seventeen year old fraternal twins Nephi and Sariah Price discover a portal in the bottom of their grandpa's potato cellar, they swirl back in time to Book of Mormon days. Armed with only their testimonies and Nephi's Liahona decoder ring, they navigate a maze of wicked kings, stripling warriors, secret combinations, and a few harlots. Will our hero and heroine's Jaredite barge ever resurface? Will they win the tapir-drawn chariot race? Will they ever get through all of Second Nephi? Read this sword-wielding, sling-hurling page turner to find out.
The Mormon Urban Renewal Project
by
Dallin McConkie Smoot Richards II
Pride or Paycheck
by
Tisha Sweet
LDS English girl, Elizabeth Smith, is not yet one and twenty, and not in want of a husband. Indeed, nobody at the Hertfordshire Stake Singles' Ball could tempt her. Certainly not that snob from Salt Lake City, Rulon Parmenter. What nerve he has, arriving late, refusing to dance, and flaunting his upper class East Bench accent. Then her friend Charlotte tells her he's a flight attendant for Delta Airlines. Blimey! That's a real job! ... Could it be that Elizabeth has found her Brother Darcy?

laugh out loud funny!!! PLEASE tell me these will be real books some day!
ReplyDeleteOf course! And all of them cataloged as non-fiction. Thanks for reading, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteThis post was inspired!
ReplyDeleteJudging by those garden gnomes, I think the rice krispy treats sold so well because they were laced with mushrooms. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love how you remember where Isaiah was plagerized in the Book of Mormon. It was sooo boring, I mean no one even died!
Dear My temple name is Deborah, this post was likely inspired by those mushrooms Steve referred to (or perhaps a glass of chardonnay.) I know, 2nd Nephi sucks. I vote the 3 Nephites leave their Book of Mormons home tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteBwaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteDonna, you've done it again. You've captured the LDS womens experience and influences in perfect form, from the completely predictable journey of the siblings to the didactic preachy tone of the urban renewal, and then sealed the deal with a nice time warp of Mormon housewifery that all good girls should dream of. Love the reference to the East Bench accent. Nice and smarmy.
ReplyDeleteYou make me pee my panties, you're so damn funny.
Thanks Insana D!
