37 Discourses Book of Mormon

 

There are at least thirty-seven discourses in the Book of Mormon on the Savior and the plan of salvation. Sixteen of them are in the first half of the book.

The main intent of every Book of Mormon prophet, not just Nephi, was to invite all who read the book to come unto Christ and be saved (see 1 Nephi 6:4).
