Women of the Book of Mormon by Heather B. Moore

Share it Please
Genre: Non-fiction/Religious

Author: "Heather B. Moore is the award-winning author of several historical novels which are set in Ancient Arabia and Mesoamerica. She is not old and doesn’t remember the time period, so google.com has become a great friend. Although she has spent several years living in the Middle East, she prefers to forget the smells. Heather writes under the pen name H.B. Moore so that men will buy her books. She is also the author of one non-fiction book, which took her much too long to research and write, so she is back to novel writing (when she isn’t clipping 2-for-1 coupons).
Heather graduated from Brigham Young University with a major in Fashion Merchandising and minor in Business Management—which has absolutely nothing to do with writing novels. But at least she can balance a mean checkbook and color-coordinate her kids’ school clothes." (Info cam from here.)

Synopsis: Heather B. Moore explores the lives of women in the Book of Mormon. It's an opportunity to learn about the lifestyle and people of Ancient America to see what they went through and to better apply it to our lives today.

Review: I loved reading about the women in the Book of Mormon. I saw this book and thought, "How can she write an entire book on the women? There aren't very many!!" But, she did. She actually wrote about the unnamed women in it and the women mentioned just briefly in it who are described more in the Bible. The women covered were Sariah, Eve, Mary, Sarah, Twenty-four Lamanite Daughters, Queen of King Lamoni, Abish, Isabel, Mother of the Two-Thousand Stripling Warriors, Daughter of Jared, and the Wife of Mormon. It was an opportunity to read between the lines and to see what these women went through. The artwork in it is absolutely beautiful too. Obviously, it was a very clean read. ;)

Rating:  ***** Five Stars
