“Have You Received His Image in Your Countenance?”

Jane Mecham

As recorded in the Book of Mormon, Alma asked the people of Zarahemla a series of thought-provoking and introspective questions: “And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?”

Alma 5:26

I Would Ask, Can Ye Feel So Now

Brenna Miller

Honorable Mention in the 2017 Book of Mormon Central Art Contest

This figurine was inspired by a verse in the Book of Mormon which reads: "And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?" (Alma 5:26)

This figurine was hand sculpted using oven bake clay and then painted in acrylics. She stands 7 inches tall with a base width of 3 1/2 inches.

Tree of Life

Timothy Brian Little

rebar and steel sculpture

“I believe one of the most wonderful works of the Lord is the tree of life. To create the trunk of the tree, I had to heat the rebar to be able to twist it into the shape I desired—just as our Heavenly Father uses trials in our lives to mold us into the person He envisions us to be. Gears were added to the trunk—like experiences in our lives that give us strength and character. The bicycle chains add movement to the tree and the ability to change. The marbles are attached to the tree with magnets and can be removed, symbolizing the partaking of the fruit of the tree, or the love of God.”

Alma 5:62
