I'm going way out on a limb during this episode of the podcast as I compare the Book of Mormon to the Star Wars Saga. The first 200 pages that we just finished studying is like "Star Wars: A New Hope" from 1977. It was directed by George Lucas. It's the classic movie/story that everybody loves. With the beginning of The Words of Mormon we get a new 'feel' to the narrative of the Book of Mormon. It is an abridged version of The Large Plates of Nephi. From here on the story telling is changed and there is a fast paced style that connects multiple stories into one.  The pace of the first 200 pages was generational as the writers wrote about what happened in their time from their perspective. The pace in these next 400 pages is hectic with Moroni telling sometimes three or four stories of different people all happening at the same time. The next 100 pages is more like a JJ Abrams directed movie where the action drives the story forward. At one point in The Book of Mosiah there will be three or four different groups of Nephites and Lamanites chasing each other through the wilderness at the same time. It's going to be fun.
