Title: Champions of Light
Description: Champions of Light is a collection of first-person accounts taken from journal entries of LDS Pioneers who were teenagers at the time.  •  Three teenage pioneers were caught in the blizzard snows coming to Utah in the handcart companies.  They record the miracles that led to their rescues!  •  One teenager signed up with the Mormon Battalion and marched to California.  He was present at Sutter's Mill when gold was discovered, and gives a detailed account of the discovery and picking up his gold.  •  One teenager worked as a secretary for the Prophet Joseph Smith and saw the Prophet receive a revelation from God.  •  Another teenager was caught in a buffalo stampede!  All the accounts are faith-promoting, and inspiring for everyone.  (Overview by the author, Richard C. Shipp)
