"A MUST have for religionists This book is basically a rewritten version of The Book Of Mormon in contemporary English and reads at about a middle school level of difficulty. It eliminates the archaic prose of words like the "thee", "thou", "verily", "hast" and other KJV biblical text. A comparison could be the KING JAMES BIBLE rewritten into the easier to understand NEW LIVING TRANSLATION.
"I'll admit there are places in the Book of Mormon where I have struggled to comprehend its contents (Jacob chapter 5 and the Isaiah quotes come to mind). Timothy Wilson's work has made a world of difference in understanding it. This is like a rewrite of the Book of Mormon in modern English. It also includes some extra references for explaining certain themes and events. Read this alongside the original - it has helped me to read it much more effectively." -Don D.
