The author of this book is Enos, the son of Jacob. One day, while he was out hunting, the words he'd heard his father preach started weighing on his conscience, and he prayed for forgiveness of his sins. He prayed all day and heard the voice of the Lord saying his sins were forgiven. Then he prayed for the Nephites and even the Lamanites to be blessed. The Lord promised him that the Nephites would be blessed if they were righteous and that the Lamanites would be blessed at a future day by this record. After recording this story, Enos ends his record by saying that relations with the Lamanites were very bad. The Nephites were also pretty forgetful when it comes to obeying the commandments, but they had many prophets among them to remind them about the right way to live.
