Book of Mormon Reader was made with one purpose: to make your scriptural reading goal easy. Start by picking a finish date, place your bookmark in the Book of Mormon, and you're ready to start. Daily notifications let you know when it's time to read and how much you need to read to reach your goal. As you read your reading suggestions will update to match how much reading you do. If you read extra one day, your overall goal will update to match. If you miss a couple of days, your daily suggestions will add some verses to make sure that you still reach your goal. Simple, no clutter layouts make it easy to keep up with your goal. Whether you're trying to finish by the end of the year, or a baptism, or any other special occasion, there's nothing between you and your scriptures. Special thanks to Ben Crowder, BYU, and the Mormon Documentation Project. The scriptural text reflects the 2013 edition of the LDS scriptures. All text included is within the public domain. All additional headings and study guides are the property of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and as such are not included.
