| Summary |
"Mother Stories from the Book of Mormon" by William A. Morton is a collection of children's stories inspired by the Book of Mormon, likely written in the late 19th century. The book presents simplified narratives from the Book of Mormon, focusing on key figures and events, particularly those associated with the family of Lehi and his son Nephi. It aims to impart moral lessons and religious teachings to young readers through engaging storytelling. The opening of the collection introduces the character of Lehi, a good man who receives divine revelation and is instructed to leave his home to escape impending destruction. He takes his family, including his obedient sons Nephi and Sam, and his disobedient sons Laman and Lemuel, on a journey to a promised land. The narrative describes Lehi's efforts to guide his family, the challenges they face, and the importance of faith and obedience. This portion sets the foundation for further adventures as Nephi undertakes significant tasks, like retrieving a sacred record from a local ruler, establishing vital themes of faith, reverence, and perseverance intertwined throughout the stories.
