Book of Mormon Study Guide, Pt. 3, Helaman to Moroni

by Randal S. Chase, Michael D. Chase (Editor)

Overview

This volume is the third of three on the Book of Mormon. It covers the Book of Helaman through the Book of Moroni. This includes the period of great wickedness just prior to the coming of Christ. We read of the missions of Nephi and Lehi, followed by Samuel the Lamanite. The signs of Christ's birth and death are given, followed by their fulfillment. Great destruction occurs on the American continent, and only the righteous survive in the Land of Bountiful. Christ appears to the Nephites, teaches and heals them, organizes His Church and ordains 12 disciples to lead them. After His departure, a Zion people live in peace for many years, then decline again into great wickedness. We read of the final days of the Nephites in the writings of Mormon and Moroni. We also read about the Jaredites, who were the first to inherit the land, long before Lehi's family arrived. In all, it covers 2,000 years of Jaredite history, and 469 years of Nephite history from 52 BC to 421 AD when the book of Moroni closes. The cover features a beautiful painting titled "Behold Your Little Ones," by Del Parson.

About the Author

Randal S. Chase spent his childhood years in Nephi, Utah, where his father was a dry land wheat farmer and a businessman. In 1959 their family moved to Salt Lake City and settled in the Holladay area. He served a full-time mission in the Central British (England Central) Mission from 1968 to 1970. He returned home and married Deborah Johnsen in 1971. They are the parents of six children—two daughters and four sons—and an ever-expanding number of grandchildren.

He was called to serve as a bishop at the age of twenty-seven in the Sandy Crescent South Stake area of the Salt Lake Valley. He served six years in that capacity and has since served as a high councilor, a stake executive secretary and clerk, and in many other stake and ward callings. Regardless of whatever other callings he has received over the years, one was nearly constant: he has taught Gospel Doctrine classes in every ward he has ever lived in as an adult—for a total of thirty-five years.

Dr. Chase was a well-known media personality on Salt Lake City radio stations in the 1970s. He left on-air broadcasting in 1978 to develop and market computer-based management, sales, and music programming systems to radio and television stations in the United States, Canada, South America, and Australia. After the business was sold in 1984, he supported his family as a media and business consultant in the Salt Lake City area.

Having a great desire to teach young people of college age, he determined in the late 1980s to pursue his doctorate, and he received his PhD in communication from the University of Utah in 1997. He has taught communication courses at that institution as well as at Salt Lake Community College and Dixie State College of Utah for twenty-one years. He is currently a full-time tenured faculty member in the Communication Department at Dixie State College in St. George, Utah.

Concurrently with his academic career, Dr. Chase has served as a volunteer LDS Institute and Adult Education instructor in the CES system since 1994, both in Salt Lake City and St. George, where he currently teaches a weekly Adult Education class for three stakes in the Washington area. He has also conducted multiple Church history tours and seminars. During these years of gospel teaching, he has developed an extensive library of lesson plans and handouts that are the predecessors to these study guides.

Editorial Reviews

I just read your [material] regarding personal revelation. I believe it to be perhaps the most clear discussions on the topic I've ever read. Thank you for your insights and the way you presented them using well-documented references from prophets and general authorities. With your permission, I'd like to use some of your material in a speaking assignment I have this Sunday in the College 2nd Stake.

Making Precious Things Plain . . . is a great series. . . . It contains a wealth of information, many quotes and additional scriptural references. The majority come from past and present prophets, apostles, and general authorities of the Church. Some are humorous and some are purely informative. All of them will help the reader to reach a new level of faith and understanding. . . . Written in a very personal, upbeat manner, it has the feel of attending one of Dr. Chase's LDS Institute classes.

I think it is by far the BEST study guide written for those who really want to LEARN the lessons. [Timothy Schulte is a book publisher, though not the publisher of these books.]

They were so informative and enlightening. Words of thank you seem so inadequate. They have helped us have a grater love and understanding of our life here [as missionaries] and give us a nourishment to get out and be bold and just do it, and to really ponder the scriptures and then try to do all we can to live them.
