Book of Mormon Gems provides a careful selection of the vast majority of outstanding principles, prophets and events throughout the great journeys contained in The Book of Mormon. Above each entry is a bolded and enlarged heading in italics which, as a Gem, gives the clear essence of the entry.

What significant Christian doctrines does the Book of Mormon teach? Gems from the past light a path to the future in Christ the Lord. For example: The Gospel plan is to save families, God judges us for our use of agency but intervenes against the wicked, the atonement is infinite, the priesthood are "chosen vessels," and we must "take upon ourselves the name of Christ" at baptism. One great GEM is the witness of the Book of Mormon to the THREE DAYS and NIGHTS Jesus was in the tomb, confirmed in the Bible by the double Sabbaths (plural in Matt. 28:1).
