Joseph Fielding McConkie and Robert L. Millet (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 30, 2007

As the keystone of our religion, the Book of Mormon is high-priority reading. Naturally, it is read with varying degrees of comprehension, and many of us need assistance to deepen our understanding. The four-volume commentary focuses on the most significant aspect of this standard work-doctrine. Dividing the material into convenient topical sections, each volume quotes the Book of Mormon verses and gives detailed commentary that reflects not only the authors' own considerable scholarship and research but also the insights of other scriptures and modern prophets. This invaluable commentary will help readers draw nearer to God by enhancing their study of His sacred word.

I have all 4 volumes in book form and love them. The Kindle version is loaded with typo's. Many words are just wrong. It is unfortunate. .

This is an excellent book and I find it very useful. However, there are way too many typos. Examples are "horror" used for "honor", "we, we" used for "wo, wo".
