About this ebook

Book of Mormon Gems provides a careful selection of the vast majority of outstanding principles, prophets and events throughout the great journeys contained in The Book of Mormon. Above each entry is a bolded and enlarged heading in italics which, as a Gem, gives the clear essence of the entry. This format gives the reader the option of reading just the Gem, or also the full underlying text of each entry. Each entry is meticulously documented, and includes in parenthesis who is speaking.

The selection of well over two thousand entries in Book of Mormon Gems, is a modest attempt to gather completely from The Book of Mormon, the plain and precious truths and events revealed centuries ago to chosen prophets who were led to a promised land by the Power of God.

What makes Book of Mormon Gems so valuable is that it presents the most important and sacred scriptural truths found in The Book of Mormon, without having to read as well the volumes of extra writing throughout the book.
