Covenant of Christ: A Modern English Version of The Book of Mormon is a groundbreaking book of sacred writings unlike any other. It restates in modern vocabulary and structure what was originally published in a form of Early Modern English. The earlier form of English made it difficult for modern readers to understand the text. This book is an authentic and ancient text written by prophetic messengers whose words ought to be studied. Those words can and should change lives.

Covenant of Christ is scripture for the present day. It summarizes the history of a people who followed divine guidance and journeyed from the Old to the New World. It explains that despite a forgotten connection to Him, God has continually been involved in carefully scattering His covenant people through the world with a plan to regather them again now.

The spirit of prophecy and revelation inspired the writers to make this record of God’s involvement with one branch of His covenant people. Their record promises other branches were also guided by God and led to locations throughout the world. Although our ancestors may have forgotten and abandoned their covenant, God has never forgotten or abandoned His covenant people.

This record was first introduced to the world in the poetic and archaic language of the King James Bible almost two hundred years ago. It has been preserved by the Lord to now make it accessible, clear, and as succinct as possible, in clear modern English. This book is both a revelation and a warning. Though it may seem improbable, it extends an unmistakable invitation to connect with God through a renewed covenant.

Let this book, Covenant of Christ, speak to you as the Word of God in our day. It’s truly impressive to recognize how artfully this work has been woven together, so carefully composed, so neatly and tidily stitched into a single narrative, where dominant themes stand out with extraordinary impact. With this new edition, God demonstrates to us that His power is fully active.

It is once again a modern revelation from God to the world, and in a world that appears to be growing darker, He just turned the lights back on!
