Publisher's Synopsis
The first prophet to write in the Book of Mormon, Nephi, described himself as "large in stature" and lived a life of luxury in Jerusalem. But where did his family acquire their riches and how did Nephi develop his strength? Could his wealth, size, and spirituality have anything to do with his "bow of fine steel" and other archery references? We explore archery from ancient Assyria to Modern America to develop a theory about Nephi's life besides being a prophet as we dissect his journey from Jerusalem to the promised land.
