These are my reflections, reduced to sonnets, on each verse of 1 Nephi in the Book of Mormon. I believe the Book is exactly what it purports to be, another testament of Jesus Christ, but that it is much more than that. It is a meticulously crafted life lesson that stands up to the very closest attention one can give it. Transforming those lessons, or thoughts about them, into sonnets has afforded me great satisfaction and insight. I hope others will enjoy the output and perhaps be inspired to find their own way of recording their own reflections from this Book which was literally brought out of the dust by the gift and power of God.
