"When I read from your web site, I feel like I'm watching a movie. It makes understanding The Book of Mormon a lot easier. Although a member since age 8, I've had trouble explaining The Book of Mormon to my boys, ages 10 and 11. With your website, it's a lot easier." --- Leslie Greenland - Las Vegas, Nevada "Dear Brother Wilson; Your Plain Book of Mormon web site is doing wonders for the faithful members who attend the branch located in the Port of La Libertad in El Salvador. Thank you so very much for helping the church members in remote parts of our planet!" --- Ann Maria Gomez

I'm Timothy B. Wilson. I made this FREE web site for you. It's The Book of Mormon on an 8th to 9th grade reading level. This site has dozens of illustrations (paintings, photos and maps), explanatory notes and large, color coded text. Tens of thousands of readers of all ages have found this site to be very useful. Plain Book of Mormon is not intended as replacement reading of The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ, found here. Discover an understanding of Isaiah here. See Martin's Cove pioneer trek photos here. Read about America's strong Christian beginnings here. Read Pres. Kimball's words on counterfeit patriotism here.

My brief history: I was born in 1957 and raised in Hayward, CA. Because all 16 of my great-great grandparents were Latter-Day Saint pioneers, and because my 8 great-grandparents were Latter-Day Saints, as were my 4 grandparents and parents, a love for The Book of Mormon comes naturally.....it's in my blood! I served a mission in New England (1976-78) and married in 1979. From that marriage I have 4 children, Anica, Jacob, Isaac and Elijah, ages 29, 27, 23 and 17. I remarried in 2001, and my wife Ramona and I have a happy, beautiful daughter, Emma, born Feb 23, 2005. We live in Marshfield, Missouri. Future events will be very interesting, for The Book of Mormon tells us the greatest, most marvelous and wondrous works are yet to come.

Afraid at first
Reviewer: Emote "Emote" (Raleigh, NC)
I was afraid to read this at first, because I don't like the idea of messing around with scripture. That's why we still use the King James Version. HOWEVER... I love this book. I never felt like anything was lost. Only clarified. I won't let this book replace my scriptures, but it will never be far away. GREAT Job Tim. Thank you sooo sooo much. I bought it in a used book store, and I feel very fortunate to have found it. I was unaware of it before that moment. My teenager is reading it now. Thanks again.

A MUST have for religionists
Reviewer: Don D. (United States)
This book is basically a rewritten version of The Book Of Mormon in contemporary English and reads at about a middle school level of difficulty. It eliminates the archaic prose of words like the "thee", "thou", "verily", "hast" and other KJV biblical text. A comparison could be the KING JAMES BIBLE rewritten into the easier to understand NEW LIVING TRANSLATION.

I'll admit there are places in the Book of Mormon where I have struggled to comprehend its contents (Jacob chapter 5 and the Isaiah quotes come to mind). Timothy Wilson's work has made a world of difference in understanding it. This is like a rewrite of the Book of Mormon in modern English. It also includes some extra references for explaining certain themes and events. Read this alongside the original - it has helped me to read it much more effectively.

Every LDS Home Should Have
Reviewer: M. McDermott (Morgan, UT)
As a former seminary teacher and now gospel doctrine teacher, this "guide" makes reading the Book of Mormon much easier and understandable. It's like have a scriptorian next to you explaining what you just read, and yet, it is written with flow, like a novel, so you don't want to put it down. I finished the whole Book of Mormon in one week. I have a more vivid understanding and mental references now. I completed the prophets challenge. I can't wait to read this 2-3 times a year. It is not like other scriptures "re-written" losing translation, this is "right on", and has the same spirit of revelation attending you as it is when you are reading from the Book of Mormon.
