Product Description
MORAMONA takes the reader through 140 years of trial and triumph in the first comprehensive, one-volume history of the Mormons in Hawaii, from 1850 to the present. Here is the remarkable story of Utah missionaries working alongside Hawaiian Saints to build a new Zion in an island "paradise" -- from the arrival of the first missionaries and the settling of Laie to the building of the Hawaii Temple and the founding of what is now BYU-Hawaii. Engaging yet scholarly, richly illustrated, this volume wil appeal to all interested in the history of Hawaii and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, students of Pacific missiology, and especially to the Saints of Hawaii and the dedicated people who served a mission in the Islands and their descendants.

I loved this book! I was totally taken in by the histories, stories and experiences of the members and missionaries of Hawaii. It provides an in-depth look at their struggles, their successes, and much, much more!
