About the Book

BRIGHT SWORDS is an eighty seven year chronicle of certain inhabitants of ancient America; probably spanning a period from 160 b.c. to 73 b.c. and based upon narrative contained in a sacred scriptural record known as THE BOOK OF MORMON. Bright Swords speaks of hatred and sin, of idolatry and internecine warfare, but the principle message is a ringing testimony to the capacity of God's children to eschew wickedness and experience a mighty change of heart. Bright Swords teaches of conversion and repentance, of love and PEACE. Swords are made bright when they are not stained by the blood of brothers. Sweet is the peace the GOSPEL OF CHRIST brings.
