The Book of Mormon — A Treasure

[abqfriend]

I am a non-LDS member. I have the Book of Mormon as well as Doctrine and Covenants and The Pearl of Great Price.
-any suggestions on a good commentary to explain more of what I am reading?
-Like reading Sacred Scripture/The Bible -I find reading the Book of Mormon to be difficult to read at times. -and a good basic commentary would be a great help.
It is very interesting-but entirely new to me.
Thank You
-Carol

Being a convert to the church, I would suggest to start with this link, which provides electronic copies of each standard work material in manual form from the church. They will provide enough information to quiz either the Holy Ghost in prayer or missionaries.

I sincerly feel for you. I am not mocking you or down talking you. I just feel bad that you did not get anything from it.
Maybe try reading it again, slower taking time to really ponder the message. I got a lot from reading it, and know you will too if you take a different approach.
Good luck!

1. [12] Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days, and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord.
