Champions of Light

Description:

Champions of Light is a collection of first-person accounts taken from journal entries of LDS Pioneers who were teenagers at the time. • Three teenage pioneers were caught in the blizzard snows coming to Utah in the handcart companies. They record the miracles that led to their rescues! • One teenager signed up with the Mormon Battalion and marched to California. He was present at Sutter's Mill when gold was discovered, and gives a detailed account of the discovery and picking up his gold. • One teenager worked as a secretary for the Prophet Joseph Smith and saw the Prophet receive a revelation from God. • Another teenager was caught in a buffalo stampede! All the accounts are faith-promoting, and inspiring for everyone. (Overview by the author, Richard C. Shipp)
