The Holy Book of Mormon is similar to the Bible in that it is lengthy and challenging to read due to its “King James English,” but it contains many valuable insights, just as the Bible does. If a person were to start reading it from the beginning, they might give up before finding those gold nuggets because there is so much history to wade through.
Not everyone is fond of reading history; therefore, a smaller book (yet from within The Holy Book of Mormon) that has less history and more gold nuggets of truth is the perfect primer for introducing what The Holy Book of Mormon is about—Jesus. Jacob is the foremost teacher in The Holy Book of Mormon, who covers everything from how to gain entrance into Heaven to how Satan originated, everyday life, and the future of America.
