| Synopsis: | In the tradition of The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis comes this fascinating work of historical fiction from the mind of Elder Neal A. Maxwell. Readers of the scriptures have long marveled at the account of the city of Enoch and its translation. What was their society like? Suppose ancient records had been kept and were made available to us today. What lessons might they contain? Elder Neal A. Maxwell tells the story of Enoch’s ministry and the glory of his Christ-centered society through the eyes of a man called Mahijah, who urges his friend Omner to move to Zion before it’s too late. Mahijah’s imaginary letters provide a vivid portrayal of life in the city of Enoch, whose inhabitants the Lord called Zion, “because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness†(Moses 7:18). (Previously published under the title Of One Heart.) |

| The book brings to life what it might have been to live in the time of Enoch. The letters allow the reader to absorb doctrines of discipleship in small doses while giving us the opportunity to put ourselves in the shoes of someone investigating Enoch's teachings. |
