Post by Amulek – Alma’s new missionary companion. It’s hard to understand the hardness of the hearts of my own people here in Ammonihah. Alma was told by the Lord that I am called to testify to my people. Having spent time with Alma in my home, I recognize how wicked we’ve become. Now out…
Supporting the prophet of God
Post by Amulek – Citizen of Ammonihah Several days have come and gone as I and my household host Alma. He has genuinely blessed my home. As I mentioned earlier, he came to my city and began to preach the word of God to my fellow citizens. Satan having taken such hold on the hearts…
The Study to Destroy Liberty
Post by Amulek – As a new player in this blog posting lineup, I may be breaking rules because what I share won’t necessarily be a narrative of events as they happen. Rather, I will share what makes an impression on me at the time. As you will learn if you continue following this trail of impressions, an…
How could our Redeemer be tempted?
Post by Amnor – Spy turned warrior turned student After seeing what our Chief Judge Nephihah wrote about Alma’s work in Zarahemla, I was envious of those who were able to sit at his feet as he taught. That changed when Alma came here to Gideon and began preaching. Nephihah played down the fact that…

How do I know?
Post by Nephihah – Chief Judge and Alma Fan Alma’s questions, as I recently shared with you, are a sermon in themselves. However, another individual theme that ran throughout his sermons in Zarahemla was his proclamation that everything he taught was from God. He was led by the spirit and inspired by the Lord to teach and…
Alma’s questions of the soul.
Post by Nephihah – As the Chief Judge I’ve far too much responsibility keeping me occupied, than to attempt to follow our High Priest Alma around and write about his preaching to our people. I do from time to time receive his own record of the words he spoke. As you will clearly recognize, Alma is…
Every soul has cause to mourn.
Post by Nephihah In the first five years of the reign of judges as Amnor related, so much rebellion, death and destruction consumed our people, there was universal cause to mourn. We’ve lost so many of our love ones as well as our flocks and herds, our fields of grain which were trodden under foot…
The Fifth Year of the Reign of Judges – War and War
Post by Amnor – Spy turned warrior. This fifth year of the reign of judges has been a tough year. It started with apostasy, which led to civil unrest, then to civil war, then two wars with our enemy the Lamanites. Alma’s personal wounds are beginning to heal and our people’s wounds, with the grace of…
