She clarifies the religious, political and historical events that take place in the ancient communities of the Book of Mormon and their underlying contemporary teachings that serve as the framework for spiritual practices that lie at the core of Mormon life.Now you can experience this foundational sacred text even if you have no previous knowledge of Mormonism.
