When President Gordon B. Hinckley challenged members to read the Book of Mormon in 2005, Karl Nehring decided to simply read it as quickly as he could. As he read, he found great joy and comfort from the words and decided to read it again. As a result, Nehring found great pearls of wisdom within the book's pages and a practical pattern for reading and responding to the Book of Mormon.
Pearls from the Plates: Reading and Responding to the Book of Mormon presents a lively, literary, and thoughtful perspective that appeals to long-time students of the Book of Mormon as well as to those who are just beginning. This book is not meant to be a scholarly commentary, but rather a way for Nehring to encourage readers to go through the Book of Mormon thoughtfully---stopping to linger over words, phrases, and ideas; delighting in both the doctrinal truths and literary devices; and reflecting on how they can liken this remarkable book to themselves.
Pearls from the Plates is an important contribution to our gospel libraries and should take its place beside our scriptural commentaries and scholarly works. Because it helps us learn to read the Book of Mormon and to contemplate its teachings, both first-time and repeat readers of that book will find this book fruitful. I invite you to peer over the author's shoulder and read the Book of Mormon with fresh eyes.---Dr. James E. Faulconer, Richard L. Evans Professor of Religious Understanding Brigham Young University
Brother Nehring has given us great insights into the Book of Mormon as he reads and responds to this book among books. But he has also given us something more---a pattern of responding to the word of God. I recommend that you read his book and do as he has done: read and respond to the Book of Mormon prophets and their inspired messages.---H. Wallace Goddard, Professor & Family Life Specialist University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension
