About the author
Joseph Smith Jr.
635 books287 followersJoseph Smith, Jr. was the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, also known as Mormonism, and an important religious and political figure during the 1830s and 1840s. In 1827, Smith began to gather a religious following after announcing that an angel had shown him a set of golden plates describing a visit of Jesus to the indigenous peoples of the Americas. In 1830, Smith published what he said was a translation of these plates as the Book of Mormon, and the same year he organized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
For most of the 1830s, Smith lived in Kirtland, Ohio, which remained the headquarters of the church until Smith began encouraging members to gather the church to a Latter Day Saint settlement in Missouri. There, tensions between Mormons and non-Mormons resulted in the expelling of the Mormons. Smith and his people then settled in Nauvoo, Illinois where they began building a new temple aided by new converts from Europe. He was assassinated by a mob of non-Mormons at the age of 38.
Smith's followers consider him a prophet and have canonized some of his revelations as sacred texts on par with the Bible. His legacy as a leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been recognized by millions of adherents.

Disclaimer: This is not a review of the religious beliefs and views of the Latter-day Saints (LDS) faith. This is merely a review of an LDS quad. I have read these books and my views on them are my own. Thank you.
*****This is a 1981 publishing of the Book of Mormon and accompanying standard works.*****
So...I have read The Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price in their entirety and it took quite some time. This is a large and heavy book called a quad among the LDS; you will always see the missionaries carrying them. The quad consists of what the LDS call "standard works" which are the four books I mentioned earlier. It comes in three sizes: large (6.5" x 9.5"), regular (5.25" x 7.25"), and compact (4.25" x 6"). The quad also has two silk ribbon book markers. The following is an outline of what is inside:
1. The Holy Bible—standard King James Version containing both Old and New Testament and is 1590 pages. After this comes an appendix containing a topical guide, a Bible dictionary, Joseph Smith translation, Biblical maps and photos (total 860 pages).
2. The Book of Mormon (BoM) in its entirety is roughly 540 pages to include an introduction, the text, and a pronunciation guide to all the names of people in the BoM.
3. The Doctrines and Covenants (D&C) contains all 138 revelations is 294 pages. The D&C is a collection of divine revelations and inspired declarations given for the establishment and regulation of the kingdom of God on the earth in the last days (from Explanatory Introduction page).
4. The Pearl of Great Price contains selections from The Book of Moses, The Book of Abraham, Joseph Smith's translation of parts of The Book of Matthew, Joseph Smith's history, and the 13 LDS Articles of Faith. In total it is 61 pages.
Following all of that is another index of 416 pages. Lastly, the quad finishes with a Chronology of Church History and a series of maps and places relevant to LDS church history.
This is a great reference source I use often and read random passages. Thanks!

Each time I read these my faith in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ grows.
February 9, 2015
So much wrong here. I don't know where to start. I guess I will just do the books in order and limit my comments to some of the major things.
The Bible: Animal sacrifice, genocide, rape, mutilation, slavery, polygamy. God's plan is goofy. All humans sin. The penalty for sin is a very bad afterlife. Jesus commits suicide by cop, but this is not a problem because he can just come back to life at will, and he does this after three days. So because God is so vindictive and childish that He can't just forgive people for committing their own sins, a human sacrifice is required, Jesus dies, and humans are required to accept Jesus or suffer a miserable afterlife. Too many moving parts! Could you dream up a more convoluted cosmology if you tried?
The Book of Mormon: Interesting that the three witnesses and the eight witnesses all left the church or were excommunicated. Most convenient that the angel took the plates back to heaven where no one could see them. Can you imagine how many converts there would be if people could see the gold plates in a museum today? Church artwork generally depicts Joseph Smith translating the gold plates by intently studying the characters engraved on them. But actually he translated them by putting his seer stone in a hat and covering the opening of the hat with his face to block out excess light. Scrying like a Gypsy fortune teller is just weird. This sounds a bit like the evil dark magic Mormons preach against. Lamanite DNA. Science has shown that none of the Native Americans are Jews or others from the Middle East. The mitochondrial DNA shows that they are Siberians who came across the Bering Strait. How about those anachronisms? Elephants, horses, wheeled chariots, wheat, barley, silk, glass, steel and iron, steel swords, glass, coinage. How about the Book of Mormon promise where if you read the book and pray about it, you will know it is true? Sorry folks. It doesn't work for everyone. "Feeling the spirit" is just a normal human emotional response. People of all religions or none regularly feel sensations just like this. This is why non-Mormons will swear upon all that is holy that they know their competing religions are true. People often "feel the spirit" at the wrong times. Like when listening to secular music, watching a play, watching a movie, looking at pretty scenery, or spending time with good friends and loved ones.
Doctrine and Covenants: Mostly boring notes from business meetings. Stuff that never should have been canonized. But then there are some sections that are real humdingers with weird doctrines like polygamy. This book provides some interesting background on how Joseph Smith dealt with Emma, his unhappy first wife as he went about taking 33 other wives including two 14-year-olds, several women already married to other men, and several mother-daughter pairs. Polygamy is just icky. And it is still part of LDS doctrine. If a man's wife dies and he remarries, Mormons currently believe that this man will be a polygamist in heaven with two wives.
The Pearl of Great Price: Oh my goodness! The worst of the lot. A smoking gun if ever there was one. When Joseph Smith translated the scroll, scholars had not yet learned to translate Egyptian. But then the Rosetta Stone was found and scholars figured out how to translate the language. Mormon and non-Mormon scholars agree that The Breathing Permit of Hor is totally different than the Book of Abraham. The Egyptian funerary document says nothing about Abraham, and Joseph Smith translated 100% of the characters wrong. That is pretty bad. You would have thought that even just guessing, he might have got one of them right. And for all those deniers who say that we don't have the same scrolls Joseph Smith did, look at the facsimiles. Those were never lost. They were published in The Pearl of Great Price. Oh what a mess! You owe it to yourself to research this matter a bit.
If God gave you a good brain, then don't you think He would expect you to use it? Brains are for thinking. Asking questions. Doubting. Criticizing. Learning. Drawing conclusions. Figuring out what is good and right. If people exercise blind faith rather than using their brains, then they are not fulfilling the measure of their creation, and God would be disappointed with them.

There is nothing like the scriptures from the complete L.D.S. Standard Works to help guide and comfort you, and help you feel the love of Heavenly Father and the Savior and more influence of their love through the Holy Spirit to comfort and assure, to answer questions, to warn, correct, encourage, heal from wounds, sorrows and sins, feel the healing balm of Gilead, and tell about human examples that teach how to live or how not to live. The scriptures lift, refresh, change you from the inside out, and as you follow God, they can sanctify and edify you on a daily basis....be sure to pray too (morning, evening and mid-day if necessary, for yourself and others, and always in your heart) to get those blessings!! READ THEM....ALL OF THEM!!! READ AND PRAY...EVERY DAY!!! The adversary will try and stop you, but do not listen to him at all as he sends his discouraging feelings and messages!!! Pray to overcome him because he does not want anything good for you and wants you to be very miserable. I want to add that now I am part way through the "Old Testament", as we are studying that this year in Sunday School, and I am almost all of the way through the "Book of Mormon" for the umpteenth (Is that a word?) time. I cannot count the times because I lost track long ago. One reason that I read the "Book of Mormon" so much is because it contains the whole gospel of Jesus Christ in it, including all of the precious truths that were lost in various translations of the "Bible". I dearly love the "Bible", though, because it has the lives and teachings of the Lord through the early prophets to the house of Israel and others, and it has the Savior's life and teachings in it....I cannot wait to study the "New Testament" next year!!! Christ also appeared as a resurrected being to the Nephites in the Book of Mormon and preached to them and performed miracles and blessed them and their children, as well as he showed them the wounds in his hands and side, and let them feel for themselves so that they knew that he was the Son of God who had atoned for them, and for all of mankind. The Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ is all based on the Lord's atonement for everyone who ever lived on the earth. The atonement takes care of all of our human frailties that we have because of the fall of Adam and Eve (which God knew was necessary to take place for us to grow and be more like him, so we can dwell in his presence one day), including our own mortal sins as we repent, and gives us victory over the grave both spiritually and physically, as we will be resurrected like him one day!!! See lds.org for a complete online version of our scriptures, or go to our online store, or one in your own area....or better yet, contact the missionaries and watch our online videos on different topics, and then read the scriptures. The missionaries will have you read the scriptures and they will help you to understand them better, as sometimes we need help, even though the LDS version of them has many resources to cross-reference, we still need the help of those who know more.

If I could have but one book it would be the scriptures; they give me guidance, comfort and strength. This version includes not only The Bible, but other scriptures that are important to the LDS faith: The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and The Pearl of Great Price. Couldn't live without them!

I am so great evil to have the scriptures in my life. They have taught me many lessons and have helped to guide me throughout my life. Some of my favorite stories in these books are when Jesus Christ is teaching the multitudes. I can really feel the Holy Spirt whenever I read them. I can really feel closer to my Savior and my Father in Heaven.
Read
October 2, 2022A great additional testament that Christ came and saved us. Showing him in the, what is known now as the American Continent. That he left his flock and had to go to others, even said in the New Testament, that there were other flocks he must attend. Great Read!
