Today I am thrilled to announce my next major LEGO-illustrated project that I'll be working on over the next couple of years. Ever since The Brick Bible first delighted audiences and made them look anew at the content of the Old Testament and New Testament, fans have been asking if I’ll ever illustrate any of the world’s *other* holy books and scriptures. Finally, an answer to that question has arrived: yup.
I invite you all to “like” The Brick Book of Mormon to receive progr...ess updates as this project moves forward. I have also launched http://thebrickbookofmormon.com/ as the official website. I would appreciate it if you’d share this post with any and all of your friends who you think would be interested in my project to illustrate in LEGO the teachings and history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The goal of the project is to make these teachings better known to the world. It is designed to capture the interest of non-Mormons curious to know what the LDS Church teaches, as well as believing Mormons looking for a fun new way to learn and share the history and teachings of their church. This project is currently in the RESEARCH PHASE in which I have been spending many months immersing myself in the scriptures and teaching manuals of the LDS Church and taking hundreds and hundreds of pages of notes. In the next phase, all these notes will be worked into a manuscript. From there the illustration phase will begin. It is not yet determined whether The Brick Book of Mormon will first be published as a book (like The Brick Chronicle series) or whether it will publish first to the web and then go to print (like The Brick Bible).
I look forward to providing regular updates here as this project comes together. It’s been totally fascinating and fun to work on these past many months. In the coming days I’ll have lots more to share about the (fairly epic) scope of the project and planned structure of The Brick Book of Mormon: The Illustrated History and Teachings of the LDS Church. Glad to have you with me.
