Summary:

The Book of Mormon prophet Nephi describes the journey to eternal life as going through a gate of ordinances and traveling a "straight and narrow path." Twenty-three authors took that gospel roadmap passage as a prompt to write "a Mormon story." They responded with a surprisingly wide range of realistic and fantastic tales. Amazon.com
