As One Crying From the Dust

As he closed his record, the great prophet Nephi wrote: 'And now, my beloved brethren, all those who are of the house of Israel, and all ye ends of the earth, I speak unto you as the voice of one crying from the dust' (2 Nephi 33:13). Moroni also closed his record with a similar witness and yet another reminder that these 'voices from the dust' that testify of Jesus Christ and His gospel are for our blessing and benefit today.

In As One Crying from the Dust, author Brent L. Top demonstrates how timeless themes from the Book of Mormon are 'relevant today and can and do give us greater power to resist today's many temptations, greater comfort amidst today's many trials and troubles, and greater strength to keep the commandments of God.'

The author's personal experiences with the scriptures and with a prophet's challenge to 'make the Book of Mormon a center focus of study because it was written for our day' are coupled with his doctrinal knowledge of the Book of Mormon to form a book that will instruct, inspire and testify to readers.
