About the Book:
The second edition of MORAMONA takes the reader through 168 years of trial and triumph in this one-volume history of the Mormons in Hawaii, from 1850 to the present. This new edition provides background on the pre-history of the Hawaiians, the remarkable story of the Utah missionaries working alongside Hawaiian Saints to build a new Zion in an island paradise--from the arrival of the first missionaries, the translation of the Book of Mormon into Hawaiian, and the settling of La'ie to the building of the La'ie Hawai'i and the Kona Hawai'i Temples. The story tells of the Church College of Hawai'i and BYU-Hawai'i, of the labor missionaries and the Polynesian Cultural Center, of Mormon Hawaiian musicians, of the Kalaupapa leprosy settlement and the Mormon experience there, and of almost countless Latter-day Saints who have given much to make the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints strong in the Islands.
