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.

Publisher's summary

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.

Best book ever

Narrator is comically unemotional, but there are free audio versions at mormon.com if you want that. Great book to help you love the Lord, to increase your devotion to him, and to better help you understand the Bible, and how the God of Heaven has established Jesus as Lord and Savior as recorded in the Bible.

Smooth narration

Narrator announces each chapter and speaks in a clear resonate voice. It meets my expectations for a book of scriptures and is well done.

Inspirational Fiction

I've read this book at least two dozen times and it is inspirational and life changing. Don't let the title fool you though, there is little about Mormonism in this book. For instance, polygamy is forbidden, there's a trinitarian god-head, and only a single heaven.

Although many people believe that this book is historical, it is obviously the work of fiction. Despite that fact, I recommend the book as an inspired work of biblical fan fiction and a true love letter to Christianity.

Good book but Waste of money

I wanted this so I could download the whole thing.
I wasted my money. The version on the church website is so much better and free.
Win some loose some.
