As promised in the Book of Mormon, spoken now are “words of the Faithful,” as if it were from the dead.

Yet something strange has come, for these words tell of Izilba and Zhera’ (Jared), and of their sorrow and restoration, during what Tolkien calls “the Second Age”: the couple fleeing from the island of Numenor; that land having fallen into evil, its “mighty men” plotting assault upon the Gods abiding in Aman.

Yes, that is what I said: The Book of Mormon’s ancient Jaredites came out of roots reaching deeply into the world depicted in the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. Really.

You can read from the published “Introduction” here.

I am happy to talk about the book, but only after you have read it. If we are to create a new Myth to live within, I won’t do it by myself. Nor have I thus far. Send me an email (on the Contact page).
