Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites

Revised and Enhanced: 2nd Edition

By: Chris Heimerdinger

Narrated by: Chris Heimerdinger

Jim Hawkins has a bad attitude. What's more, he enjoys having a bad attitude about everything—especially about church.

Garth Plimpton is a fanatic. He's spent so much time studying the scriptures and thick books on archaeology that that he can't carry on a normal conversation with other kids. That's why they consider him a nerd.

Through an unusual chain of events, these two opposites become fast friends. It all began when Garth told Jim a simple truth: "They really existed once, you know."

"Who?" Jim asked.

"Nephites," Garth replied. "Every character in the Book of Mormon ate, slept, died, was buried . . ."

That statement, taken for granted before, would soon echo deeply in the two boys' minds—because they were on the trail of a chilling secret.

A very fun read

This book was fun and exciting. It uses information from the Book of Mormon and weaves a tale going back in time.

A great story that brings Book of Mormon characters alive.

nothing to dislike here, do yourself a favor and enjoy this book. I share this book often.

these are some of my favorite stories! can't wait for the next one to come out on audible.

I like the flow of the voice when reading this story. Definitely brings the Book of Mormon alive.

Loved it!

Listened to this as a youth on cassette tape on long drives. Relive the moment again with my kids. Special memories.

Childhood favorite

I’ve been hoping for years this series would come on Audible. I absolutely love this series!! I can’t wait for the rest of the books to be released.

The author does a wonderful job narrating, and draws you into each intense moment. The author also does a wonderful job with conveying spiritual moments, and teaching the listener about spiritual truths. This book is exactly what I needed to help refreshen and reawaken my love for the Book of Mormon stories I cherished as a child.
