They came from the past to retrieve something stolen, something evil. . .and only Jim Hawkins stands in their way.
Chris Heimerdinger, LDS master of high adventure, reunites the compelling characters from his best-selling novel, Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites, in an explosive saga that transports you from the familiar settings of Utah and the American West to the deep and shadowy jungles of southern Mexico.
Jim Hawkins, still unable to remember his former adventures among the Nephites, is nevertheless haunted by fleeting images he can't seem to connect with any particular source. Vivid memories are returned to him bit by bit when strange and ancient visitors suddenly interrupt his life — one desperate for his help, others desperate for revenge.
Join Jim Hawkins, Jennifer Hawkins, and Garth Plimpton as they embark upon the most thrilling and hazardous quest of their lives: one that teaches them the true meaning of valiance in these latter days and where every step of the way they are pursued by the darkest of villains. . .
Chris Heimerdinger did it again. The 2nd book in the Tennis Shoes series is a huge hit!!!! From the mystery surrounding the mysterious stranger looking for Jim, to the events that led him to attend a Sci-fi meeting, to traveling through Mexico, the book kept me riveted to the pages. I loved how this particular boo was placed in modern times. While Book 1 made me feel like I was actually on the battle field with the Nephites, this book helped me understand exactly where the events of the Book of Mormon actually happened.
One thing that I did want to mention is, this book also showed how subtlety Satan works. He convinces you that a little sin is ok, and soon that little sin turns to a little bigger sin, which leads to a little bigger sin. Before you know it, the path of righteousness that you were once following is no where to be found. But just like Jim, if you really want to change you can do it (this information is for me more than anyone else but if it helps you out, yay!).
I hope you enjoy this book. Happy reading!
