The Book of Mormon

I have this lifetime goal of reading the Book of Mormon every year and I can honestly say that it's one of the best decisions I've ever made for my life. I love this book. I love reading it. I love the familiar pages that have picture stickers and colored pencil markings. I love its truth. I love the influence it has had on my life. It truly is the word of God.


"I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work - and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times - until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies."   -Jeffrey R. Holland

"The Book of Mormon will change your life. It will fortify you against the evils of our day. It will bring a spirituality into your life that no other book will. It will be the most important book you will read in preparation for a mission and for life. A young [person] who knows and loves the Book of Mormon, who has read it several times, who has an abiding testimony of its truthfulness, and who applies its teachings will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and will be a mighty tool in the hands of the Lord."   -Pres. Ezra Taft Benson

"There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path."   -Pres. Ezra Taft Benson

"Let us continually reread the Book of Mormon so that we might more fully come to Christ, be committed to Him, centered in Him, and consumed in Him."   -Pres. Ezra Taft Benson
