Nephi Anderson 3 hr 40 min read

A soul's journey from the pre-mortal world through earthly life to the eternities, a Latter-day Saint vision of the whole plan of existence.

Nephi Anderson's 1898 novel dramatizes Mormon theology as narrative, tracing characters across the 'Great Plan' from a point in the distant past to the future. A foundational and enduringly popular work of Latter-day Saint fiction, earnest and doctrinally rich. Read it for a sincere nineteenth-century religious romance that turns cosmology into story.
