This is a riveting account of how the angel Moroni approached his task of mentoring and preparing the boy prophet for his critical mission of restoring the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this final dispensation. Mr. Baker brings together a wealth of information about the events of this period from primary sources of the day, which makes this account exceptionally interesting. But the real draw of this book is the unique perspective Baker gives of the careful nurturing and tutoring Moroni provides to Joseph, needing him to learn critical principles of behavior but not wanting to break his spirit in the process. The relationship of trust and love that develops over this 4-year period of education and training is highly reminiscent of the legends of the young Arthur and his trainer and mentor, Merlin. Baker gives us a glimpse of what it takes to prepare a young prince. This is a "must read" for youth and parents of any religion--the principles are timeless and transcend religious denominations.
