The Book of Mormon Guide Book

By

Verla Birrell

Green hardcover with gold lettering. Some minor shelf wear with some scuffs and smudges on both covers. Minor tears on the spine. Pencil markings on the flyleaf, but otherwise the text throughout is clean, clear, and legible. In fair condition.

This is one of the earliest books, by a female BYU scholar who first advocated a South American setting for Book of Mormon events. It has a unique fold-out and spectacular insight toward such a theory. Often very overlooked by those who really should consider it.

We may have more than one copy in stock, and we will try and ship the best condition copy first.

In the Improvement Era of June 1949, Dr. John A. Widtsoe said the following about this author and title:

“In this unique, comprehensive, and correct study of the Book of Mormon the contents of the book are so arranged under the topical headings as to be a useful handbook for all who read and study the book. The text is chiefly in the words of the Book of Mormon itself with dependable, simple, and helpful comments by the author…

“The seventeen chapters for altogether an excellent study of the book. Its title, Book of Mormon Guide Book, is justified. Those interested in the Book of Mormon would do well to have this book at their command for frequent reference.

“There are also six maps and twenty-eight charts dealing with the Book of Mormon matters. The index is well made and will save the student much labor.

“The author has spent some time in Central and South America which has helped in this arrangement of Book of Mormon material. The book takes a high place among published studies of the Book of Mormon. It can be highly recommended.”

— Dr. John A. Widtsoe (Apostle)
