There were several stories within this book that I enjoyed but I had a hard time following some of them. While I do think that the accounts presented could have been actual visitations from one of the Three Nephites I wonder if perhaps there are other ministering personages that came to some of these people. These accounts are definitely not scripture, but it was fascinating to ponder more about the Three Nephites and their request to remain on the earth until Jesus comes again.

The collection of stories were varied, with some being better told than others. I think this may have had to do with remaining true to the source material, as it is a collection of stories reported in different ways by different people. Some were quite inspiring, and it was worth the read.

Containing story about people who believe they encountered the three Nephites. I really liked this book. I found it to be very interesting and easy to follow. The stories in this book were very mysterious and inspiring.

This book was given to me with a few others from a lady in our ward. I wouldn't have purchased it myself, but I picked it up to flip through and ended up reading the whole thing over a couple of days. It was great for me because it is a collection of short stories and experiences of people who believe they've had encounters with the Three Nephites. It was a quick and easy read. At this point in my life I only get a few minutes before my kids interrupt me. I thought it was interesting, but since it's not scripture, you're just not sure how true they are. I believe it's possible though. I did feel like I have a believer personality though because it didn't damper my testimony of the gospel at all. :)

This book was OK. It had some really good stories that were interesting and believable, but it had some really bad stories that were really stretching things. It seemed like the authors were trying to fill a book and they needed stories to do that. It was almost as if they said, oh good this story has a reference to the three Nephites so we'll put it in the book. The story might have no real value other than filler space. But like I said before there were some stories that were very good and give insights to the characteristics of the men known as the Three Nephites.

I read this while I was still Mormon. A collection of unverified anecdotal Mormon folklore, or urban legends, of the three Nephites. Interesting tales of sitings of the Nephites who were blessed so they could never die.

Ehhh - the book is okay. Not very well organized and structured and kind of lacking in cohesion. but it is interesting at times to read some accounts here and there - some more interesting and credible than others. The three stars is a stretch

Having had my own Three Nephite experience on my mission, it was wonderful to read these accounts from over the years by others who've shared their moments.
