LeKook Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi All! I'm trying to find out if there is a "novel" or series form of the Book of Mormon scriptures. I know this sounds like a goofy request but the problem (for me) is that the scriptures aren't in chronological format and I need something that will help me remember what happened in that order. When I was growing up we had Bible story books that helped me learn the Bible in some sort of sensible order so now that I'm older I still know what prophet came before what other prophet, where major events occurred in history, etc. I have the bookmarks (with the chron order on them) and they aren't helpful. If I could find the stories in the scriptures, simplified, in the order they occurred, it would be a HUGE help. My brain cell suffers enough as it is. Now I'm just getting lost. Have already tried audio format on some of this - still could not retain the info. Need it in written format. Any suggestions? Thanks! -Lynn P.S. I apologize if this might be in the wrong forum - didn't know which to post it in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlia Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have '2 Hour Book of Mormon,' by Larry Anderson. You can get it on Kindle. It gets you through the important parts in a very accessible manner, then, once you get an overview, you can go back and read the 'real' BOM.

LeKook Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Thanks Dahlia - I'll take a look at that. Mostly I just want better jogs for my memory, LOL!!! We're studying D&C in class on Sundays and it's all over the place. I can't seem to get a grip on chronology for scriptures and frankly I have a feeling that I'm running out of time to figure it out.

dahlia Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I also got a 'Book of Mormon Times at a Glance, Booklet' from the LDS online store. It's nice to see a timeline of what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetorian_Brow Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) I loved reading this as a child and it may help what you are looking for.Book of Mormon Reader Edited June 15, 2013 by Praetorian_Brow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brycematheson Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ah! Praetorian_Brow got to it before I did. I was going to suggest that. The Book of Mormon stories are a great resource! I might be grown, but I still love to read through it from time to time. It goes through the most important events in the Book of Mormon in a story form with pictures and easy-to-read captions. They have one of those for each of the major books of Scripture. I'd give that a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
