Description
This volume is the first of three on the Book of Mormon. It covers 1st Nephi through the Book of Mosiah.
This includes the journey of Lehi and his family across the Arabian Peninsula to Bountiful. It follows them on to the promised land, where the Nephites and Lamanites separated. It contains the marvelous prophecies of Lehi, Nephi, and Jacob.
We then read remarks from the book’s editor in the words of Mormon, and follow the Nephites until their establishment in the land of Zarahemla under King Mosiah. In all, it covers 508 years of Nephite history up until about 92 BC when the book of Alma began.
The cover features a beautiful photograph of the Land Bountiful taken by Scot Facer Proctor.
