“And They Did Dwell in One Land and in One Body”

Brant Gardner

The defenses of the Nephites covered several fronts. They prepared defensively by gathering into a concentrated and defensible area. They prepared by taking the substance of the land with them. They prepared by making weapons of wars. Most importantly, they prepared by “put[ting] up their prayers unto the Lord their God, that he would deliver them.”
