Children of the Promise, Vol 1: Rumors of War (MP3 Download)

“Rumors of War (Children of the Promise)” by Dean Hughes is an amazing book! I would recommend it to anyone. At the beginning of the book Hughes talks about how when he wrote the book he made sure to make the events fit in the exact time; even the little things, like movies, were playing during that time period. He says that all of his characters are fictional but the events were real. He explains events in church history and world history that lead up to the Second World War, when the U.S. joined in, to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, to what occurred in Germany, and capture of prisoners of war. This book was excellent! It drew me in from the beginning with the American family and the LDS missionaries and kept me interested to the end when the war was beginning. Hughes did an awesome job on how he explained the events that occurred during the bombing of Pearl Harbor and overseas at other U.S. military bases. I really didn’t know much about the history behind all of these…
