- Featured by Meridian Magazine and at the 2003 FAIR Conference as a ground breaking work on Lehi’s travels.
The Book of Mormon begins with a stirring account of Lehi’s family fleeing Jerusalem through the wilderness to a new home in the Americas. For decades, scholars have scoffed at many of the locations and conditions described by Lehi’s son Nephi. This new evidence shows that Nephi’s account is completely accurate.
Two Latter-day Saints, with unprecedented access to the lands of the Middle East, have completed a six-year odyssey documenting the actual locations of Lehi’s journey from Jerusalem to the land of Bountiful. Their discoveries give tangible proof of the locations described by Nephi in the Book of Mormon.
Through the authors’ detailed descriptions, careful research, and spectacular photographs, such places as the River of Laman, the Valley of Lemuel, and the Land of Bountiful come alive. The authors also make clear where Nephi could have found wood to replace his broken bow, why the Lord commanded them not to build fires, and how Nephi could have built a ship to cross the sea.
Follow these modern explorers as they share 81 evidences that validate the Book of Mormon account.
Reviews-
"This (Lehi in the Wilderness by George Potter and Richard Wellington) is a rare and beautiful book. In this neat package we have all the evidence we need to convince us. After this, those who challenge the Book of Mormon will have some heavy explaining to do."
"Any student ...of the Book of Mormon has to take [this book] seriously."
-S. Kent Brown, Professor of Ancient Scripture, Brigham Young University Former director of the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies Editor of Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, FARMS
"["Lehi in the Wilderness" by George Potter and Richard Wellington] represents the most exciting and most extensive insights into the geographic and cultural background of Lehi's travels to the Promised Land that has ever been produced. It also represents the most significant work at this time on any facet of Book of Mormon geography. Potter and Wellington have paid the price in scholarship, they have sought out the best experts, they have done the necessary investigative fieldwork, they have searched the best libraries and museums, and they have made the best choices in what ideas to defend and what to discard."
-Alan C. Miner, Author, Step by Step through the Book of Mormon, A Cultural Commentary and The Story in Scriptures
"George Potter and Richard Wellington have, over the last 8 years, made Lehi and his family's sojourn in the wilderness a detailed quest for knowledge. They have brought to light new and fascinating information concerning this epic journey. Their exploration and research are to be applauded. I invite all to read and explore their exciting work "Lehi in the Wilderness." It brings to light both new and logical explanations of this trek to Bountiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the book."
Although there is no way to prove the precise route for Lehi's eight year trek through the wilderness, George Potter and Richard Wellington have put together a fascinating piece of research on the subject. The book is written in a straight-forward and comprehensive manner. It provides enough convincing evidence to make it a very significant contribution to our understanding of this part of the Book of Mormon.
