Created by veteran comic book artist Sal Velluto and Andrew Knaupp, this unique telling of the story that will reach people young and old in a new and profound way.Joseph Smith Jr. authored four accounts of his “First Vision” during his lifetime. Critics have claimed that the differences between the accounts amount to contradictions and are evidence he fabricated the story. The narration found in this book incorporates elements from all the accounts given by the Prophet, as well as accounts recorded by those who heard him firsthand. The result is a rich, consistent and synergistic narrative.PILLAR OF LIGHT has been carefully researched and includes details not previously shown in films and art, as well as accurate historical depictions, beautiful symbolism, and creative representations. It is inspiring to people of all ages and helps to build testimonies of the Prophet Joseph Smith and his divine mission.

Rorie's Review:

My kids love to read just about anything, but they REALLY love to read comic books, so this was right up their alley. In fact, I haven't even had a chance to read it yet, because they absconded with it as soon as we got it in the mail, and I had to go hunt it down so I could look through it really quickly. They're not much for descriptive reviews, but the two that have read it so far both said it was "really, really good." I love that the drawings aren't childish, but the storyline is still engaging for kids, as well as adults. This one's a keeper with our family.
