Charlton Heston as Nephi? Arnold Friberg's 'Lost' Book of Mormon Sketches To Go on Display

Deseret News - When artist Arnold Friberg passed away in 2010, his family began to clean out his studio in Salt Lake City. In a lifetime of painting, Friberg had painted “The Prayer at Valley Forge,” portraits for the Queen of England and a Book of Mormon series. Knowing how prolific of an artist Friberg had been, family expected to find some sketches. “I think people knew that Arnold was very prolific when it came to sketching.

I am Mormon, and I Have Questions

Middle-Aged Mormon Man - Brace yourselves. I need to make an announcement: I'm not very smart. (No snide remarks, please.) There are areas of expertise where I am completely, and utterly ignorant. However, to help balance things out, there are some areas that I have a good handle on.

D&C Lesson 40: "Finding Joy in Temple and Family History Work"

Ted L. Gibbons - INTRODUCTION: We all have ancestors lost in history. They languish in the spirit world, waiting and hoping for someone to find them and reunite them with their families. Our longing to locate the dead who are lost should be as compelling as our anxiety to find the living who are lost. 1.
