Now, just by listening, it is possible to enjoy the powerful impact of the Book of Mormon and also hear a stimulating commentary on the historical highlights as well as an explanation of its inspiring teachings. This series of cassette albums covers the entire Book of Mormon. The narration of the text is by the spiritually compelling voice of Wendell Noble. The historical highlights and explanation of its teachings are by W. Cleon Skousen, who taught the Book of Mormon at Brigham Young University for many years. The Book of Mormon was intended for mankind in modern times - our day. It contains the vibrant testimony of Jesus Christ himself that he is coming soon. It also contains the testimony and teachings of God's prophets extending over a period of more than two thousand years. By having the Book of Mormon on convenient audio cassette tapes, you can have them with you and listen in your car, during a walk or at home on a daily basis. Here is an opportunity to make the Book of Mormon your constant companion throughout the Millennial years. Volume 2 This second album contains some wonderful surprises. First of all, God expresses a certain displeasure with the members of the church. He identifies why God is offended and describes what must be done to gain his approval again. A second highlight of this album is a penetrating analysis of one of the most famous sermons in all scripture. This sermon was given by King Benjamin just before his death. A third highlight is King Mosiah's revelation commanding him to peacefully overthrow their monarchy and replace it with God's system of judges which is described in the first chapter of Deuteronomy. A fourth highlight is the entire story of the life of Alma the Younger. It traces his reckless career as a rambunctious apostate youth until he was confronted by an angel of God who came out of heaven roaring with wrath. Alma received a crash course on the gospel in the spirit world and one year later became president of the church. This album also contains numerous inspiring insights concerning the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Was it based on justice or mercy? We discover a host of blessings that come from the Atonement besides the forgiveness of sins. All of the scriptural citations are set forth which demonstrate why the Atonement turns out to be the most profound and important principle of the entire gospel. Volume 3 In this third album we reach the supreme apex of the entire Book of Mormon. A major highlight is getting into the many surprises contained in 3 Nephi. We hear about the spectacular miracle which occurred in America when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Then we hear about the catastrophic calamity which descended on America at the time of Christ's crucifixion. Mountains fell upon whole cities while other cities slid into the sea. Many people were caught up in violent whirlwinds, while others were consumed in raging fires. During three terrible days and nights of almost smothering darkness, Jesus delivered a powerful message to all of the survivors. He said that only the most grossly wicked among them had been destroyed--but even the survivors must immediately repent. The resurrected Jesus had waited for nearly a year before he appeared in America to his "other sheep." But surprisingly he said he would administer to his American saints with even greater power than he had bestowed upon the saints in Jerusalem. Among the most exciting developments was that after Jesus had visited America the entire population had joined the church within two years. During his ministry Jesus taught his American disciples how to set up a perfect Zion society. The astonishing part is that it lasted 200 years and survived in all of its purity and power. Jesus also described a sweeping panorama of events that would come to pass in the latter days. He related how the gentiles could join with the saints in modern times and escape the destructive calamities predicted by the prophets. Jesus even promised that if the gentiles would follow his advice they could help build the New Jerusalem and prepare mankind for the Second Coming. It is also in this third and final volume that we learn an important
segment of the Book of Mormon has not yet been revealed. We learn why
it was withheld and how we can help bring about its restoration in our
day.
