However, he is the best known as the author of the popular Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites Adventure series as well as Passage to Zarahemla. Chris has imagined a tale that bridges modern times with the world of The Book of Mormon. He has published a novel sequel to Passage entitled Escape From Zarahemla which ties together the Zarahemla world with the Tennis Shoes world in a unique and fascinating way. He has also recently published Muckwhip's Guide to Capturing the Latter-day Soul — a modern satire featuring a fictional devil named Muckwhip striving to “bring down” one specific member of the LDS faith. Chris is the father of five children and five step children. His second oldest son, Ammon, is currently serving a mission in Columbia, South America. The joys of Chris's life are his children and his eternal companion, Emily.","created_at":"2015-02-23T22:35:40.243-07:00","updated_at":"2023-10-01T02:01:57.630-06:00","meta_title":null,"meta_description":null,"meta_keywords":null,"depth":1,"producer":true,"searchable":false,"popularity":105},"imageSrc":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/db-paperclip/app/public/spree/taxons/default_taxon.png","camelizeProps":true}
