Book of Mormon Made Easier Set, With Included Chronological Map (Study Guide) (Gospel Study)

Love these books! I've been using them for years and I got these for my son and his wife who is new to the church. Reading these is like reading the scriptures with a professor of religion. It explains so many things and makes them so much easier to understand. I love it when it references other scriptures or gives you the back story. It's a great way to study!

I have made a commitment this year to read the Book of Mormon every day. I have been pretty faithful and am on my second time through since January. After finishing it in April I really wanted to "study" along with simply read but I didn't know where to start or what resources to use. I tried the institute study manuals, but found they jumped around within the text and weren't convenient. Then, someone suggested trying these books and I was instantly hooked. I bought the kindle version and read it on my kindle app on my smart phone. It is absolutely the best solution for me. I can read anywhere and I can stop and start if I am interrupted and it takes me right back where I stopped when I come back to it. The best part for me is that I have the entire text right there as I am reading along. I don't have to skip from the book to my scriptures and back. I can just read. All the notes and comments are integrated in the text and he is very clear and very detailed. I got so much from my study of 2 Nephi and I have taken several classes on Isaiah, but this was just brilliant. The only small quibble I have with the kindle version is that the formatting is not really great. In the written book (I looked at a bookstore), his notes are indented and the material he pulls from other sources is in a different font. In the kindle version, it is all the same size of type so it is sometimes difficult to differentiate as you read. Despite that, though, this is the best scripture study system I have used and now that I am through the Words of Mormon, I am here on Amazon buying Volume II. I really recommend this for anyone interested in a convenient, but thorough, study of the Book of Mormon.

This Book of Mormon study aid is truthful, easy to use and very instructive. It is easy to read as well as notate.

There is a reason these books are getting 5 star reviews - they are SO HELPFUL. I started reading the Book of Mormon for the first time, and although I could read it and thought I was getting through it fairly well, I realized pretty quickly that there was a lot of symbolism and more going on with the text than I was getting or understanding. I read reviews on these books and purchased the first one, not knowing what to expect. It has helped me so much!!! As I suspected, there is so much "more" going on in the Book of Mormon and so much symbolism I NEVER would have gotten on my own no matter how many times I would have read it. I have quickly purchased the other 2 books in this series, as well as another book by this author about Mormon beliefs and doctrines. The entire text of the Book of Mormon is in these books, but with helpful notes and explanations so that I understand it. I can see myself reading these books and referencing them many times in the future. If you are completely new to the Book of Mormon like I was, in my opinion, you NEED this. Even if you've read the whole Book of Mormon before, I still think you are going to get new insights from these books.

I read this every morning and it makes the Book of Mormon make SOoooo much more sense. The context is everything... the author has done an incredible amount of research to highlight and support passages that might otherwise be overlooked, or even leave me saying, "Huh...?" If you're LDS or even skeptical of the Book of Mormon, while some of the references may not seem to align well, most of them do. Even better, the ones that confirm that Joseph Smith could NOT have made up the Book of Mormon - even with access to much of today's historical insights - are jaw-dropping. They're often the most subtle of references, easily overlooked unless you know the nuances and historical trivia that the author has included in this study guide.

This is a great scripture resource. I love that it includes every scripture verse with the comments inserted for clarification. The insights are valuable as aid in understanding the verse, the culture, the history, etc. Extremely well researched and written.

If you’ve ever read the Book Of Mormon, you know at times it can be hard to understand everything. This book really gives you that extra boost to really understand and dive right in!

I have purchased these books from David Ridges for all the standard works. It’s as if I’m reading the Book of Mormon for the first time. A great help to my gospel study.
