Tough love Oct 10, 2009
I found it helpful while reading this book to keep a sense of humor, perspective, and willingness as I read. Some of the messages are blunt, direct, and can be painful. Painful because the reader will most likely recognize in themselves much of what Nephi and Isaiah encourage us to leave behind as we journey through life and towards God. If read in that light I believe the whole book is encouraging and a wonderful companion to the first book. I also believe the messages, warnings and lessons from all of the authors are entirely motivated by deep love, and an effort to help the reader recognize some important scriptural messages. For me it sparked a deeper love and appreciation for God and his mercy. With that came more compassion towards my fellow man and the shortcomings of life.

Peculiar Precepts Sep 04, 2007
The Mrs. and I have taken to reading this book as a couple and the first thing that we have noticed is that the author has a unique perspective of Isaiah and its relationship to the institutionalization of the word. That is to say the two aren't congruent and it would be safe to say we need to heed the words of Isaiah and turn ourselves back to the people that the Book of Mormon prefers us to be. It's an exciting book that needs to be read twice. Leadership needs to read this.

Read, Re-Read, Study, Reference to, and Share... Feb 04, 2007
This work represents again, Denver's abiding love and respect for the Lord. Through scriptural quotations and prophet's words he reminds us to remember the counsel and warnings of ancient day prophets who foretold the Latter Days in which we now live. Take advantage of Denver's years of study of the scriptures, knowledge, and cross references to better understand the wisdom and revelations of the Book of Mormon Prophet Nephi and the Bible Prophet Isaiah.
I have great respect for Denver for writing his insights, research, knowledge of, and understanding of the workings and mysteries of God in his two published books, "Nephi's Isaiah" and "Conversing with the Lord through the Veil." His writings are inspired teaching texts with candid words of interpretations that dovetail ancient and modern prophet's counsel. The warnings and counsel given here are a reality we must not be too busy to learn of, understand, heed, re-teach in our homes, and share with others. "Nephi was a brilliant Prophet Writer" and Denver helps us to see and understand his messages so we may walk in a straighter path towards exaltation. Thank you again Denver for your efforts to teach what our Father would have us learn through your writings.
