Reed Benson, Son of Ezra Taft Benson, used this book to teach the Book of Mormon in my first religion class at BYU. Then we were asked to use it as missionaries before the new missionary guide came out. It teaches a person how to properly study by topic, and is full of examples.

The Book of Mormon is the keystone to our religion. I am sad this book is not more popular all these years later. I took a Book of Mormon class from Reid E. Bankhead in 1988. He referenced the book there too.

When I got home from my mission I went to BYU and took the class, Book of Mormon for return missionaries. I took the class from Reid Bankhead, one of the authors of this book.
I met a girl, (kids this is 18 months before I met your mother) in the class, named Mary Lou Pearson. Turns out she was the daughter of the other author of this book, Glenn L. Pearson. She and I went to homecoming, dated for a semester and parted on mutually good terms.
The book is amazing,(read dazzingly difficult) It has a "how to study" intro. and then 87 study topics, which we were to learn and memorize. The entire grade for the class was the final exam where the professor chose 4-5 of the 87 topics and you had only the Book of Mormon and the test form to write essays on those topics.
Needless to say that was a harrowing experience. Great book if you really want to study the Book of Mormon in depth.

I had read the book's "great-grandfather" back in the '60's. It was really good to have this expanded and revised version. My love for the Book of Mormon has increased continually over the years.

Difficult to "read" but great for studying! :)
