El Libro de Mormón

I love that the audio is read by narrators and not AI generated. I also love how different individuals have different voices. I know this book is true, it has changed my life. Thank you for this app!

Getting to listen to the words of the individuals in different voices, instead of the same voice for every person, makes the story more alive!

Love the use of different voices and enunciation. Makes it more real . Thanks for making this effort. Obviously a lot of work!

It’s a very racist book that clearly plagiarized the kjv errors and 1800s racist mythology.

Perfect

At first glance, it seems like a great source for more learning of Jesus Christ. However, this book seems to be plagiarized from the Bible in several places and teaches a gospel that sounds good, but ultimately dismisses what Jesus Himself taught, as well as the original apostles. The racism mentioned periodically is odd and offensive. A thoughtful analysis of this book presents a problem for the modern LDS church since the doctrines taught within it doesn’t seem to line up with what modern leaders are teaching. One star for being a false gospel that is presented as historical truth, but four stars if considered a fictional story (it would be better if all of the different “authors” of the sections had distinct voices)

It deeply saddens me that in this edition of the Book of Mormon, the Church has significantly altered the presentation of the Prophet Joseph Smith’s original testimony. Rather than honoring its traditional place at the forefront of the book, it has been relegated to the appendix, where it is diluted—reduced to a Church-written explanation with only fragments of the Prophet’s own words. What has happened to his full testimony? Even more troubling is the change to the introduction, which no longer includes Joseph’s powerful declaration that the *Book of Mormon* is “the most correct book.” Why has his voice been diminished? The Prophet Joseph Smith is mentioned only briefly, and only at the very end of the introduction—and even there, he is not referred to explicitly as a prophet. These redactions are perplexing and disheartening. The Book of Mormon would not exist without the Prophet Joseph Smith, whose divine calling brought it forth through translation by the gift and power of God. Are these changes an attempt by the Church to distance itself from the man who restored this work to the world? If so, why? What message does this send about the role of the Prophet Joseph Smith in the foundation of our faith?

Probably some of Joseph Smith’s best theology. When he wrote it he condemned polygamy in Jacob 2, warned against secret oaths & covenants in Helaman 6, asserted that Jesus’ doctrine is faith & baptism and any more is of the devil in 3 Nephi 11, and taught that baptism for the dead is unnecessary in Moroni 8. Although laced with subtle racism, the book teaches better theology than Joe at the time of his death and seems to be in opposition to the modern LDS church.

Why is there different audio for “read” and “listen”? I want the “listen” audio when I follow along with the text.

The most correct book on Earth
