I was a little taken back when I first read chapter one and discovered this was a romance with Alma the Elder. But I decided I would give it a chance and I ended up enjoying. However, I did find that it tended to follow the traditional romance novel format. I hate the guy, I secretly love the guy, I don't know how to tell the guy I'm in love with him!

This book is about Alma the elder in king noah's courts. it is a a fiction love story about alma and his wife. it is historically accurate...except for the love part... but the events that take place (abinidi, the lands of mormon, helem, alma, and finally zarahemla, king amulon...) are all true. it is a really interesting book. i loved it.

recommends it for: definitely!
This book gave me new insight as to how the scriptures can be read. It brought the story of Abinadi and Alma to life for me and brought their lives more in focus. I think I may have a better understanding of scripture study and the faith our Heavenly Father has in us.

I liked it, it was a little silly, but it made me want to go back and read the actual scriptural account just to see how much was from the authors imagination. I did enjoy it though because i am very silly. *sigh*

I didn't like this one as much as "Secrets in Zarahemla" but it was still good. Set in olden times the characters struggle against an evil king, love unaquainted, and a faith that changes thier lives.

Great idea, using Alma the Elder's story. It had a very good start, but couldn't hold it. It got a bit far-fetched in the story line and the end wasn't great.

This is kinda cheesy but it is good. It is about Alma and Abanidi and King Noah but it is a love story. Very interesting way to learn biblical history.

Fiction story about Alma (the high priest) and his wife and his becoming a prophet. It really made them come alive with their struggles.
