Besides writing, Vachele loves to play the organ. She also loves to visit with friends and family, and play with her young grandchildren. A favorite pastime of the Higbees is watching Book of Mormon Evidence, and other educational DVDs.
Come listen to Vachele as she shares ideas on teaching children values and principles from the story of how The Book of Mormon came to be. She will be sharing a story from her most recent book, The Gold Plates, and will identify six different principles that children can learn from this one story.
Hear how one man tried to get into a fist fight with the Prophet Joseph Smith because he didn’t want to stop printing pages illegally from The Book of Mormon. If you are looking for something your children or grandchildren can do on Sundays, you might be interested in some of Vachele’s books.
“I am a direct descendant of Martin Harris, so I have a keen interest in encouraging our youth to read The Book of Mormon. As a grandparent, I can think of no better gift. We need their heroes to become Book of Mormon and early Church heroes, instead of current celebrities. Most books on the market for gospel study of The Book of Mormon are written for adults, or they are in storybook form for very young children. Very few books are available for older elementary school-age children and young teenagers, as well as for adults. The Gold Plates fills that void. I was fascinated, due to it being so concise, and to the point, with excellent attention to historical detail.” – Kent Linford (Harris) Pickering
