MikeyG1965 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 This is my first post here and hopefully not in the wrong place. My niece is a member of the Church and is married to a non-member. She became inactive after high school. Recently, my niece and her five year old daughter were involved in a serious accident. Thru prayers and blessings, they have gotten better. They both still have a long road to recovery, but they are getting better. My niece has started going back to Church. Now my niece's husband interested in learning more about the Church and he would like to read the Book of Mormon and understand it. I've sort have become his "guide" on things LDS. He is not to the step of asking the Missionaries to visit. Any one has suggestions/advice on any publications that will help him gain a better understanding of the BoM?

LionHeart Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 As a matter of fact there is a book. It is called 'Book of Mormon Student Manual' and can be purchased for dirt cheap at any LDS bookstore. It is actually a companion to the Book of Mormon and is intended to be read along with the Book of Mormon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Not the same as the student manual, but helpful nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dorsey Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 This is my first post here and hopefully not in the wrong place.Any one has suggestions/advice on any publications that will help him gain a better understanding of the BoM?You are absolutely in the right place....the best book I could suggest is "Our Search for Happiness" by Elder M. Russell Ballard. A fabulous book for someone interested in learning about the church...easy to read, 128 pages! This book really touches on many truths...this is a must read for investigators. Here's some insight in the book:From the beginning of time, men and women have searched for the elusive answers to life's most bewildering questions:• Who am I?• Where did I come from?• What is life all about?• Does God have a plan for me?• What is my relationship to Jesus Christ?• Is there purpose in what I am doing?• How can I find peace and happiness?Living in a world filled with confusion and uncertain values, who wouldn't like a clearer picture of just what it is we're doing here on planet earth? And who doesn't want to find peace and happiness now—the kind of happiÂness that transcends the trials and the trageÂdies of life?Fortunately, there are answers.In Our Search for Happiness: An Invitation to Understand The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, M. Russell Ballard proposes that the meaning of life is to be found not in philosophy or supposition, but in revealed truth.Here are reasonable and clear explanations of how we are related to God; the extent of His love for us; how we can communicate with Him; Jesus Christ's role as our Savior and ReÂdeemer; what our purpose in life is; how families can be together forever; and how we can secure for ourselves the happiness we seek—concepts that became known when the Lord restored the fullness of His gospel through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.I checked ebay and there are 4 copies for sale ranging from $3.99 to $11.99!

TBWilson Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I strongly recommend checking out my free website, plainbookofmormon.comIf that cannot help anyone gain a better understanding of the Book of Mormon, then nothing can.It's chock full of illustrations, paintings, photos, charts. You can't go wrong. And check out the reviewsat the bottom of the home page. Best to you,Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabelma Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 How about buying the Book of Mormon Stories for your neice and her daughter? I often go back and just read the stories. Also if you can get them the animated stories on DVD/VHS are really good. Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
