The Sealed Book of Mormon Mauricio Artur Berger 9781798768624 Books Reviews

• Yet another "Sealed Portion" hoax trying to take advantage of gullible Mormons. If you've read the Book of Mormon and other LDS scriptures, there is nothing new here. This book is mostly a retelling of familiar stories with a few added details, none of which would give you any new insights into the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
  
  I suppose the one virtue of the book (which is why I give it two stars instead of one) is that it's not necessarily presenting a false view of existing scripture that it copies, but this book is not what it purports to be. It is not the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon.
  
  It seems to be carefully crafted in a way that some gullible Mormons will believe it.
• Well the title is appropriate. It is NOT the Sealed Portion. The book consists of scriptures we already have from the Bible, Book of Mormon and D&C, mixed in with the authors own added "scriptures" to tell the stories told in the book. I would compare this work of fiction to the other "Sealed Portions" men have produced over the years. I bought this book only for my own personal records because I have been following this movement since it all started in the USA almost two years ago. The book was incredibly boring to read and unimpressive in its content. For being newly revealed "scripture", the author has almost went overboard using lots of big fancy words and phrases to where I was scratching my head trying to figure out the message they were trying to get across. Don't waste your money on this one if you don't have to!
• It’s more than a regurgitation of existing scripture, it fills in some interesting and important details. I won’t try and defend the process, production or release of this book because it available at “” cost - which says something of intent. However, I’ve also managed to confirm and understand certain elements of content I’ve discovered through prayer and scripture study over the past few years. For one, it says plainly that polygamy really is evil. Wait - didn’t King Benjamin say the same thing? Oh, and don’t miss the evolution of Satan’s efforts at opposition through the name Mahan. It’s about the details - meat from bone. If you’re still on milk then by all means, turn away, attack or belittle. Things are changing. Lines are being drawn. How one accepts this book depends on personal revelation, but also security in their existing faith and beliefs. Glad to be the first to give it five stars.
• The book, "The Sealed Book of Mormon", is a translation from 19 plates that are part of this 42 plate sealed portion. A couple books that are part of the other 23 plates includes Prophecies of Samuel the Lamanite and part of the Revelations of John. The translator, Mauricio Berger, says that we will receive the rest of this sealed portion, "when the people of the church are living in accordance with these first teachings." Although these plates are part of the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon, they are only a small portion of the whole sealed part. You can see both sealed portions in the picture I have attached. This picture is before this sealed portion is opened, but you can see the division.
  
  It can be read quickly at less than 200 pages. There are three books, "Words of Moroni", "The Sealed Book of Moses", and "Acts of the Three Nephites." We learn a little more about the life of Lehi and his birth name of Elasah.
  The largest book is "The Sealed Book of Moses at over 130 pages. It gives more details about Satan and the mischief with Cain, also info about Enoch and Noah.
  The last book about the 3 Nephites, doesn't read like Acts in the Bible. It is more of an overview written by one of the 3 Nephites - Jonas. The last chapter where Christ explains the Allegory of the Tame and Wild Olive Trees is very interesting.
  
  English is not the primary language of the translator and this is evident in several word choices. That is why I didn't give this a 5 star rating. There is not a great deal of new information and it may not meet the expectations of many because it does NOT include the much larger sealed portion that has the record from the brother of Jared. That larger sealed portion will be revealed in the future.
  
  This book should not be judged just by the words in this portion. You should also review the testimony of the witnesses. Three of the witnesses were also present with the angel Moroni. There were 8 original witnesses that came from the United States to evaluate the claims. Many of those witnesses were very skeptical and were only convinced of the validity of this record upon thorough examination and spiritual witness. This book does not fit into the category of other fake sealed portion accounts.

• This marks the 3rd "sealed portion" I've read, and this is by far the worst. The (google) translation is awful, the content is myopic and unoriginal, it contradicts established scripture and "reveals" nothing worthwhile. In the crowded field of Book of Mormon fan fiction, this piece is relegated well to the back of the pack. Not even an interesting read.
  
  Given all the effort that went into producing the replica plates and sword(s), I expected more time and care would have gone into producing this fraud as well. Unfortunately, it appears the author is relying on the relics to convince, rather than on the actual content of the book. And he was pretty successful at duping folks, given the number of people who wholeheartedly believed him and lauded him as a prophet even before this book was published, based only on his claims and his plates.
  
  Sadly for him, now that it's published, some followers are quite underwhelmed at this lackluster effort. I do have to say, though, that the approach of producing plates first, and allowing witnesses to hold and photograph them was certainly novel and laid a solid foundation for a truly great deception, though the plates were not all that well done. Happily, that effort was squandered by a terrible lack of aptitude when it comes to imitating scripture. Other frauds are much more convincing.
  
  So if you’re looking to be duped by fake scripture, I suggest you look around at some of the other phony stuff out there. This one is fake enough, to be sure, but so bad it likely won’t even deceive you. And what’s the fun in that?
