Description

In the tradition of The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis comes this fascinating work of historical fiction from the mind of Elder Neal A. Maxwell.

Readers of the scriptures have long marveled at the account of the city of Enoch and its translation. What was their society like? Suppose ancient records had been kept and were made available to us today. What lessons might they contain?

Elder Neal A. Maxwell tells the story of Enoch's ministry and the glory of his Christ-centered society through show more the eyes of a man called Mahijah, who urges his friend Omner to move to Zion before it's too late. Mahijah's imaginary letters provide a vivid portrayal of life in the city of Enoch, whose inhabitants the Lord called Zion, "because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness." (Moses 7:18)

The thing I enjoyed about this book is that it made me think about what it would really take to be a Zion people. It made me realize how far that I have to go, but I feel like it gave me some direction and it was motivating rather than discouraging.
