Where might I acquire one?Go to Mormon.org - Home and request a free Book of Mormon. Take a look around the website, too.

Investigator1 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 and remember you can read it online in the meantime. ScripturesThat's what I'm doing, as I left my copy at home and I'm not there right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravin Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 You can also listen to it for that matter. If you click on "Book of Mormon" on that website in the upper left hand corner are two links, listen and print, click on listen and it will have you download a zip file with IIRC .mp3, or if you don't want to download the whole thing at once if you click on a 'sub-book' such as Nephi or Alama and click on aforementioned link it'll just download that book. If you go smaller into chapters it streams it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytebear Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Most large booksellers should have the Book of Mormon published by Doubleday. It sells on Amazon for about $10. It's hardcover, and is the exact same text (including footnotes and chapter headings) as the official LDS version. Of course getting it free seems like a better deal.

AnthonyB Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 How do you get a free BoM without giving out your home address? I went and visited of an LDS chapel, and the guy staffing the genealogy room was quite willing to assist me but there was no BoM anywahere in the entire chapel. I couldn't imagine visiting another church and not being able to get given a bible or I could pick one up at nearly every hotel room thanks to the Gideon's. I'm from Melbourne and walk around the CBD in my lunch break. I can tell you where the bookshops for Catholics, Anglicans, Uniting, general evanglelical ones, Christian Science, Scientology, Theosophy, Hare Krishna's and a couple of Eastern religions groups, LaRouche (the Church of Christ just closed theirs) but there just isn't an LDS book store to be found. More than happy to chat to some misso's over a Hot Chocolate (I'll even shout to cover the cost of the BoM) but without giving a home address, how do I know where they will be?

Maxel Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 You can find the closest meetinghouse (and times) at this website. You could show up, say you're interested in speaking with the missionaries and get their information, then leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyB Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 That is what the genealogy bloke suggested, but for me it has been easier said then done. Go to church on Sunday morning and don't get back till lunch time and then am I out most Sunday arvo's with my boys. Also felt a bit self conscious about turning up in my Sunday best, shorts, t-shirt and reef sandals would make me stand out. Luckily I'm not too concerned about what people think, and am planning to turn up but will they actually have a BoM for me to take? (Actually while I'm at it wouldn't mind getting a "Quad", would they have one of those for sale?) But I have more time during the week and thought arranging to meet the misso in the cafe under Gog and Magog would be more fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will definitely be a Book of Mormon available if you go during the service hours. However, they don't sell Quads at Church or have extras sitting around. You can go to lds.org and order one if you wish, though.Here's the link where you can buy a triple (BOM, DC, POGP) or Quad (Bible, BOM, DC, POGP). Online Catalog - By BookI really admire your searching. Please keep it up and don't get discouraged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxel Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 If nothing else works, you can peruse the online copy of the scriptures at LDS.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmin Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I have a related question. I ordered a BOM from mormon.org but they sent me the bible instead. Is this normal? I honestly cannot have mormon missionarys at my home at this point in my life. I have the online version on my ipod but I would like a paper version as well. Right now I have a checked out version from my uni library but I cant really mark it or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can even meet you in a parking lot and just drop off a copy. It's all so very cloak and dagger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 bytebear, How do you get the phone numbers of your local missionaries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytebear Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) bytebear,How do you get the phone numbers of your local missionaries?The fastest way is to call the mission office. find out what mission your area belongs to, and get the number for that office. Someone there can give you the number for the local missionaries. If you are close to the mission office, just go during business hours and they will have a book for you there as well.This link should help you find the closest mission:Mission (LDS Church) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThis link might help too but it doesn't have all LDS missions listed:LDS Mission Network - Welcome Edited March 19, 2009 by bytebear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InnerGold Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Jasmin, if you don't get one within 2 to 3 weeks, let me know. I will get one for you and mail it to you and you will have it within a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are you will run into them there too, and they just might have a copy for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
