This Is A Classic!
In this book, Bruce Porter is essentially giving us a college course on the Book of Abraham, but in print! As such, it’s a detailed, line-by-line explanation of the text originally translated by the prophet Joseph Smith, and canonized today in the Pearl of Great Price.
Professor Porter also includes diagrams and explanations which add additional light to a topic perhaps least understood by both members and nonmembers of the Church of Jesus Christ. But, for those who want to learn with an open mind, this book reveals special treasures of knowledge concerning the kingdom of God, Egypt, the temple Endowment, and more.
This book is one of my favorites, because it’s easy to understand and the information it reveals is fascinating! I highly recommend it, because it has strengthened my testimony that the Book of Abraham contains the inspired words of an ancient prophet of God - the great patriarch of humanity - Father Abraham!

Took a trip to Egypt with Bruce Porter. Fascinating. So much to learn. This book was very helpful to try to understand it better. I will be reading it again so it sinks in better.

All I have to say is…wow. Pretty cool commentary on the temple as well.
