The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ by Anonymous
5.0
Oct-Dec review:"Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness;"
March review:
At the beginning of March 2018, President Nelson gave a regional conference for the state of Idaho and a few other areas. In his talk he said that the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. translated the book in 80 days, but that that also included preparations for the book to be published, eating, sleeping, etc. So he estimated that it took him about 65 days to translate the gold plates, which is equivalent to about 8-9 pages a day. I thought that was remarkable, and wondered why I couldn't read the Book of Mormon in 65 days. So the very next day I started and I finished today. 65 days! I learned so much more than I ever have. I noticed many themes throughout: minister to those around you, the love of riches leads to pride and wickedness, the promised land is blessed when we follow the commandments, follow Christ, repent and be baptized, etc.
My favorite verse continues to be 2 Nephi 31:20 "Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life."
