A Brief Explanation about the Book of Mormon


When you start reading the Book of Mormon you are reading the Small Plates of Nephi.  Mormon left the Small Plates of Nephi unabridged.  His abridgement starts with the Large Plates of Nephi, the book of Mosiah being the first book.    Inserted between the Small Plates and Mormon’s abridgement of the Large Plates is Mormon’s brief explanation of what he did.  This is called the Words of Mormon.  Moroni finished his father’s abridgement and added a short book of his own.  Then he abridged (he may have also translated it) the record of the Jaredite people who came to America at the time of the Tower of Babel.  I know the Book of Mormon is true.  Mormon and Moroni were great father and son prophets!
