Book of Mormon and the Constitution, The
by H. Verlan Andersen
A look at the Nephite experience with self-government, under the reign of the Judges, and the United States experience with self-government under the Constitution and the warning their experience gives us from the past.
Chapters deal with the use of government to preserve or destroy freedom, the sin and consequences of pride, priestcraft, the golden rule, divine law, and the duties of man.
Discusses the secret combinations that were with the Antedeluvians, the Jaredites, and the Nephites, and identifies how they destroyed each of those people. Will the same thing happen to us?
The Book of Mormon gives sufficient history of those societies to arouse and awaken us.
Elder H. Verlan Andersen served as a member of the First and Second Quorum of Seventy and was a close friend of President Ezra Taft Benson.
Back in print for the first time in several years, this book presents a unique view of the Book of Mormon and the Constitution that adds valuable conversation for Latter-day Saints in today's economic and political arena---a thought provoking book for
our time.

Reviews--
"This book should become a major tool in our realization that we cannot separate God's eternal principles from the correct principles that should be used in government." --Mike Thompson, Orem, Utah
"After reading this book I have a whole new appreciation for why President Benson said the Book of Mormon is for our day, and '. . . a person will be better informed regarding what's happening in the world today by reading the Book of Mormon than all the magazines and newspapers combined. . . . '" --LaDawn Jacobs, Orem, Utah
