The Book of Hahgmehni

# SCRIPT [NARRATOR – SPOKEN VOICE ONLY] [DO NOT SING] Today we continue our journey through the Nemenhah Sacred Records with **The Book of Hahgmehni**, the son of Hahgohtl, the great shipbuilder. If the first book tells how the people found a new homeland, this book tells how they built a nation. They established cities, honored the teachings of the Peacemaker, preserved their sacred records, and worked together to build a peaceful society founded on faith. For a generation, they prospered because they kept the statutes of the Peacemaker. Families grew strong, the land flourished, and the people enjoyed peace. But prosperity brought a new danger. Pride, greed, and secret combinations began to spread. Forests were stripped away, rivers diminished, and neighboring peoples sought wealth and power instead of righteousness. The record reminds us that when people reject God's ways, both society and the land suffer. Yet Hahgmehni also records a message of hope. The people protected their sacred records, discovered ancient writings, continued to heal the sick, received spiritual gifts, and grew in wisdom. They understood that preserving truth was just as important as building cities. Then comes one of the most important moments in the book. Hahgmehni prayed... and the **Peacemaker answered**. The Lord revealed things concerning the future and reminded His people that He had not abandoned them. Throughout the scriptures, God continues to guide those who sincerely seek Him. The Book of Hahgmehni teaches that a righteous nation is built on faith, preserved by humility, strengthened through revelation, and blessed when its people continue to seek the voice of the Lord. As you read this remarkable book, look for its greatest message. The Lord still speaks... and those who listen will always find hope. [MUSIC GENTLY BUILDS] [BEGIN SINGING] Speak, O Lord... We will hear... Lead us on... Ever near... Prince of Peace... Guide our way... Now and through... Endless day. [END]
