I did it. I finally finished The Book of Mormon. Say what ye will about the historical authenticity, but ye cannot deny the impact this tome has had on the world since 1823. I admit, it can get tiresome to read with every other verse starting with, "And it came to pass..." but overall The Book of Mormon is brimming with reminders to be kind, strong, and hopeful. Even if the reader is not a person of faith, its verses still have value. For example, "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God" Mosiah 2:17. If you want to think of God as charity, as kindness, as selflessness, or humanitarianism, it still works. Or look at Alma 34:38: "Live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you." Gratitude and honor are qualities that can be appreciated throughout any walk of life. I've had my ups and downs with this text, but overall I appreciate it for what it is: Joseph Smith's all-American magnum opus.

I have read The Book of Mormon dozens and dozens of times but I think I will start keeping track on here each time I finish it.

Well, I forgot I said that back in 2016! I will have to try to do that from now on. This latest complete reading may have been the fastest I have ever read the Book of Mormon. Pres Nelson asked us on Oct 6th to read it before the end of the year. He also asked us to mark all verses that refer to Jesus Christ. This was what made this reading so special. I truly grew in my relationship to the Savior through this reading. I am so grateful that he asked us to do that. I love the Savior with all my heart and am filled with gratitude for His matchless gift of His Atonement that gives me hope and peace.

It was so different to take the entire year to read the Book of Mormon. I usually read it at least twice a year. It definitely was a good experience to read it while the entire Church was studying the same chapters at the same time.

This time I tried the audiobook version. It was nice but it was also much easier to be distracted and not get as deeply into the words and deeper meanings in the book.

I am doing the Hinckley challenge right now and rereading it. I am getting amazing insights and a renewed conviction of my love of this book.

Not an ordinary book. It is inspired of God, and testifies of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. Read it with an open mind and heart and you'll see what I mean.

I certainly couldn't add anything to what's already been said about it, so I won't even try.
