Teancum the Ghost Soldier: Vol.1

The War Chapters, Book 2

De: Jason Mow

Narrado por: Jason Mow

For the first time ever, Jason tells the compelling fictional story of Teancum, beginning with Teancum’s birth, the personal tragedy that haunted his childhood, and the pivotal moment that changed Teancum from civilian to hardened soldier.

He pledged his life to protecting the innocent and to the destruction of evil men, and made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom. With sweeping landscapes, characters of depth and dimension, both real and fictional, and a deep understanding of the emotions and moral conflicts only someone who has fought in war can express, Jason exposes the listener to a side of humanity few will ever see. Listeners will enjoy a story full of triumph and tragedy, honor and betrayal, and hope and deep despair.

Youth (ages 10 and up) and adults will be inspired by the courageous examples of Teancum, Captain Moroni, Captain Lehi, and the other Christian heroes in Teancum: The Ghost Soldier. These were real men, facing real challenges. They overcame adversity by obedience to God, and fought to defend their faith, families, and freedom.

I love the the focus on what it means to be a man.

I do feel that the book is too graphic in the detailed description of death. I hoped it would be a good book for my 11year old but unfortunately it is too graphic and dark for his age.

Meh….

I can only rate the book based on what I managed to choke down before stopping. Ever since reading ‘Tennis Shoes among the Nephites’ by Chris Heimerdinger as a young teenager, I have been a huge fan of the mystery surrounding Teancum.

There can only be assumptions made as to what Nephite culture was actually like. That is all left up to the authors imagination. My problem with this book began after the events surrounding Teancum’s father concluded. The story took on too many similarities to modern day life instead of what LDS scholars & archeologists have researched and discovered for the last 50 years. At one point it talks about religious activities and them happening every week. Or the character going to school and learning a trade,but it sounds more like he is going to college in today’s society.

Overall, I would not rate this book as being worth reading. Sorry Bro. Mow.
