First and Second Nephi present a brief account of Nephi s ministry written for the purpose of persuading men to come to the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob (Jesus Christ), and be saved. These two books were written in the first person and are not an abridgment. They contain the things pleasing to God not the world.
The number of spelling and other editing errors in this book is hilarious! Brennan and I found it informative at times, but most of the "informative sections" just repeated, in more simple English, the verses of scripture. I wouldn't recommend it; I feel there are probably better BOM commentaries out there.
I loved this commentary! I have read all of the popular commentaries in the Book of Mormon - and this format and material is by far the most comprehensive. This is also the best of the whole series... I highly recommend it!
