Tennis Shoes: Among the Nephites

An incredible Series. The series teaches about not only the Book of mormon, but the Bible too. It teaches youth about courage, gospel, and the power of Faith. 1. Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites2.

I personally have read this entire series an I think it is wonderful. The books just draw you in as you go throught the pages one by one. This book starts out with the story of Jim Hawkins at 13 and his lack of desire to live the gospel. When he goes to a Home Teaching appointment with his dad and is told by Garth Plimpton about an ancient undiscovered wall painting he found depicting a group of people pictured in white being chased into a rainbow colored hole by people depicted in a darker color. Then, shortly thereafter he hears the legend of the Rainbow Room in Frost Cave. From there Garth, Jim, and his little sister Jenny are launched into an adventure into the land of the Nephites where they fight in wars, Serve as interpreters and live an adventure they won't soon forget (unless they tell).

I loved this book. I would recommend it to anyone who is a Mormon or researching the church. It really gave me a better understanding of the Book of Mormon and the times that the story line covered. When I read in the Bookof Mormon about the characters in the story I felt like I knew them better because they seemed more real to me. This was a very good book for people of all ages.

I have read or listend to all of Heimerdinger's books, except for his latest relese The Golden Crown. I realy injoyed these books. I think people of all ages would enjoy these books.

I LOVED Tennis Shoes Among the Nephities. It is sure to capture the imaginations of kids of all ages. I loved how I felt like I was there with Jim and Garth and Jenny through the whole book. It was great!
