Voices in the Book of Mormon: Discovering Distinctive Witnesses of Jesus Christ
Hidden from the world for centuries, the words of ancient Book of Mormon prophets whisper from the dust their witness of Jesus Christ. These prophets were individuals with distinctive speaking patterns that are unique in vocabulary, style, and thematic emphasis.
The fruit of more than a decade of research, this book compares the linguistic fingerprints of many major speakers in the Book of Mormon, from Nephi and Mormon to Jacob and Jesus Christ. It also shows voices speaking in harmony as later prophets use powerful phrases from their predecessors. Each chapter ends with thoughtful discussion of how identifying a speaker’s distinctive voice can spark greater understanding and application of his message.
These voices highlight the textual richness and complexity of the Book of Mormon, providing meaningful evidence that Joseph Smith did not write it. More importantly, they shed new light on Book of Mormon prophets’ distinctive testimonies of Jesus Christ.

A great witness to the Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon has always been one of my favorite books. It describes an ancient civilization led by God's prophets. At times, the Book of Mormon can be challenging to understand. John Hilton does a great job of bringing awareness to the magnitude of what Joseph Smith did when he wrote it. No other text is as profound. Through John’s research, I now understand how God works in my life and how the scriptures can help me find answers to all of my problems, no matter how insignificant.
If you struggle with the Book of Mormon, give this book an opportunity to teach you more about how research shows its truthfulness.
