Nephi's Isaiah
The first author in the Book of Mormon was named Nephi. He wrote 18 chapters quoting or paraphrasing Isaiah. Nephi's Isaiah is an extraordinary analysis of the reason Nephi included the Isaiah quotes in his works, and the message he intended for us. This book is a tour through prophecies directly speaking to the latter-days in which we live. Sometimes alarming, sometimes comforting, always informing; this bold discussion of Nephi's meaning is unlike anything you've read on the subject before. This is the second book by Denver C. Snuffer, Jr., and is a companion to his earlier book, The Second Conversing With the Lord Through the Veil. It not only interprets Nephi's warnings and reasons, it also gives you a new method for your own scripture study. After you read this book, you will never view the scriptures the same.

Wonderful. Gives you more insight into Isaiah and the last days.

Excellent book, but is dated because he wrote in the era of LDS president Hinckley when "follow the prophet" was not as strong a mantra as it is now. In fact, they have taught (probably still teach) that if your revelation for your life and what you should believe does not match their directives, you are the one who is wrong.
Snuffer was also apparently unaware at the time that the Twelve and Presidency do get paid (it's called a stipend). They also get a lot of perks and are essentially worshipped by a lot of members.
One can get a lot of insight for our day from reading the books of 1st and 2nd Nephi. This book can help with that if you struggle to understand that it applies to the believers in the Book of Mormon even more than it applies to those who have never read the book.
So, in the day it was written, 5 stars - but things have changed so much in the LDS Church (so what he says about it is not completely correct today) that I would give it 4 stars.

Insightful and intriguing
The insights that Nephi offers latter-day readers is phenomenal. This book opens up ways to read Nephi's Isaiah and apply it to our day!
