Mormon Stories

An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi Wherefore, it is an abridgment of the record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites-Written to the Lamanites, who are a remnant of the house of Israel; and also to Jew and Gentile-Written by way of commandment, and also by the spirit of prophecy and of revelation-Written and sealed up, and hid up unto the Lord, that they might not be destroyed-To come forth by the gift and power of God unto the interpretation thereof-Sealed by the hand of Moroni, and hid up unto the Lord, to come forth in due time by way of the Gentile-The interpretation thereof by the gift of God. An abridgment taken from the Book of Ether also, which is a record of the people of Jared, who were scattered at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people, when they were building a tower to get to heaven-Which is to show unto the remnant of the house of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever-And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations-And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ.

Just close your eyes and think of Jesus.

College and working were the only two things on your mind. You had nothing else to worry about except getting your degree and keeping bills paid. Until you meet Dinah. You knew from the moment you met her that if it ever got serious you would have to take on the problems in her life. But after getting to know her, you were willing to help carry some of her baggage. As things escalate both with your relationship and with her life, it seems like what started as a great thing might be a little more complicated. And the complications only continue as you start to meet her family and vice versa. With all these problems that come with dating her, would it be too much for you to handle in the end or will you always stay running with her? WARNING ⚠️: This story DOES contain some violence associated with murder. NONE of it is physical or mental domestic violence, but there are a few chapters that involve argument scenes that get really intense and others that mention religion (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, i.e. Mormon). I did my research and stuck to what I found as best I could to portray the religions beliefs as best as I could. But due to the topics brought up, it could make some uncomfortable. Especially if this is your religion. There are also mentions of mental illness. This story also contains talks about drugs (marijuana), the selling of said drugs, as well as the smoking/ingestion of it. If you have a problem with any of the things mentioned above, please do not read this book. This is the first warning. The second, and last, warning will be at the very beginning of the Introduction chapter and that's it.

Two mormon teenage boys... their love is forbidden, but maybe breaking the rules... wouldn't be so bad?

No one thinks it will happen to them. But it happened to me. This is the story of the past two of years of my life: the tragedy, emotions, people, and honest truth of losing a loved one. This story won't be a lighthearted one, but I do promise the truth. If you stick around long enough, you might learn something.

Antoinette feels as though she goes back in time when she visits Eumoiriety Island, for her grandfathers funeral. From the moment she stepped off the boat she knew this place was unlike any other. Hoopskirts, and horse drawn carriages. Eumoiriety Island was a place of peace, happiness, Innocence, and purity. A place founded for people to live as they pleased, despite the governments around the world. So how does an American girl feel? Coming from the land of the free, to realize she was never free at all?

A lot of people have questions or misconceptions about "Mormons" (members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and what they believe. Hopefully this will answer some of your questions. Please be nice in your comments. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and you do not have to agree. Most of the content in here is found in a pamphlet called For the Strength of Youth. I would highly encourage you to google https://www.lds.org/?lang=eng for more information, or contact missionaries if you have any questions :)

Kacie forest is on the verge of falling out of her own mindset. Will she get back on track?

Sixteen, licensed to drive, armed with his trumpet and a band, Shake Tauffler slips the harness of his home and neighborhood to test himself in the raw world of the streets and nightclubs of Salt Lake and its outlying towns. His parents intensify their attacks on his growing sense of self. Jazz and its negro heroes still define him; but his church takes off its gloves to teach him that negroes are anything but heroes. His Huck Finn days are over; this is the rebel Shake, haunted by the faceless mystery of never being good enough and a hunger he can’t name, roaming the night alone or with his hoodlum pals, finding refuge in cars, girls, violence, the cry of his trumpet, the faces of the American night. In Book 2, the Shake we knew in Journey takes on tougher obstacles, extends his reach, but continues to meet the senseless forces of his life with courage, wit, and wonder. He leaves Utah for the Army. He embraces the break from his past and the chance to define himself from scratch. But his past comes out of hiding when he falls in love and faces down the ruthless racial dogma of his faith. He returns home to a family and church who are quick to remind him who and where he is. A foreign mission when he turns nineteen lies just ahead. The road is ending. One last defiant self-affirming act takes him across the American West to close it down his way. From Mike Strong, co-founder of Zola Books: "Max Zimmer has written The Great American Mormon Novel. For decades, readers have depended upon a few extraordinary writers to understand fully what it means to be an American - Philip Roth, Julia Alvarez, Ralph Ellison, Erica Jong, John Updike. Zimmer has added a critical new dimension to our shared national understanding of who we are and how we got here in this sweeping narrative. Twelve-year-old Shake Tauffler's decade-long journey through the Mormon Church and beyond will resonate with all Americans who ponder their soul and place in our changing national portrait."

When will these spookie mormon hell dreams stop

A cult member. Peter, age 20, knows Mormonism, but little else. No street smarts, book smarts, or social smarts. More significant, Peter knows nothing of religious mind control, viewing the world as his parents and church created it for him. His bipolar disorder, lack of maturity, and desire to do the right thing collided when he decided to serve a two year mission for his church, family, and community. What Peter wanted or needed never crossed his mind. Religious delusions and mental illness push him to extreme actions when repeated failures push him to bizarre and unorthodox behavior. If he survives his crazy mission to save the world who will he be? How can he find reality when he has been fed lies his whole life?
