Here is an audio edition of the sacred text of the Latter-Day Saint movement that followers believe contains the writings of ancient prophets who lived on the American continent from approximately 2200 B.C. to A.D. 421. A fascinating listen for religious scholars and denominational adherents alike.

Editorial reviews

In the theology of the Church of Latter-Day Saints, The Book of Mormon is the word of God which recounts "the history and God’s dealings with the people who lived in the Americas between approximately 600 BC and 400 AD". The origins of this holy book are fascinating: An angel supposedly told Joseph Smith, in 1827, where to find the buried golden plates that contained the ancient scripture.

On his website, Sean Crisden justly boasts that he has "the voice of reason". In this performance of The Book of Mormon, complete with helpful chapter numbers and verse notations, Crisden's voice is almost as smooth and authoritative as a true prophet's.

Studying and pondering great literature is my favorite pastime. The Book of Mormon was especially profound in its witness and testament of the Lord Jesus Christ. I loved it and leaned powerful principles that have helped me to be a better wife, mother and person. I highly recommend it. FYI: The Book was not written by Joseph Smith, it was translated by him.

Best book I have ever read

Just downloaded this and found that Audible has removed the chapter and verse citings from the recording. It is now so much more enjoyable to listen to. So curious why they don't note this in the description or mark it as another edition. Yes, the narrator could have done a better job (compare this to Max McLean's narration in the Listener's Bible for instance) but it's so much improved from before that I am not going to complain.Thank you, Audible!
Edit 12/14/2019: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has now added their own edition to Audible and it is a much better recording than this one.

This recording has been vastly improved!

This is obviously a religious work, so I wasn’t here for the entertainment. That being said, it was well narrated. Having read it prior, being able to listen to it while working was awesome, and it came at a time when I needed its calming spirit.

Narrated well.

Would you try another book from Joseph Smith and Church of the Latter-day Saints and/or Sean Criden?

Yes, but not scripture because of the naming of every verse. Chapter headings would be enough

Hard to listen to--broken up with verse numbers
