Movies about Prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon Prophets)

Movies about Prophets
of The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

You may have seen recently in the news in January 2018 that Thomas S. Monson, then prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died.  And you may have also noticed that Russel M. Nelson is the newest prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  For those who may not know, just as God talked to Moses, Noah and Jonah in days of old and commissioned them to tell the people of their worlds what the Lord wanted them to know, Mormons also believe that God talks to a prophet today for the same reason - to share what God wants the world to hear.

Here are some of our favorite movies about some of the prophets of  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Living Scriptures has many movies about the prophets of  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as well as movies about the history of that church, movies about the Bible, and American History.  They offer a 1 month free trial to all the collection (kind of like Netflix).  Here is that link.

Holocaust Remembrance Day - January 27 - Movies and Books to Remember With

Holocaust Remembrance Day is coming up.  We tend to like to study the Holocaust on that day, or even on the week leading up to it because I hope that if we understand how such a thing was allowed to happen once, we can stop it from ever happening again!

Here are some of our favorite movies, and books that we feel have helped us understand the Holocaust better and World War 2 better.
