Books:
- The Lost 116 Pages, by Don Bradley: This book attempts to reconstruct the contents of the lost manuscript and does it beautifully. It filled in so many gaps and opened up the Book of Mormon for me in a way that is invaluable.
- The Key to the Keystone, by Jonah Barnes: This book beautifully demonstrates that the brass plates included many apocryphal writings that are absent from today's Old Testament. It is also an extreemly funny and entertaining read.
- Earth in the Beginning, by Eric Skousen: This book is written by an LDS scientist, who does a marvelous job explaining the earth's creation from a scriptural and scientific background.
- The Kolob Theorem, by Lynn Hilton: Learn all about the Universe from an LDS point of view.
