finished reading The Book of Mormon again. Probably the millionth time I've read it...ok, so maybe that's an exaggeration. But needless to say, I have read it cover to cover several times. I can't seem to stop being amazed at how wonderful a book it is. Every time I read it I get something new out of it. I think this last time it took me about six months to get through it. It has taken me as little as six weeks or as long as a year to finish it in the past. But without question, no matter how long it takes me to read it, something new and profound always comes to my attention. Though I have to say, my absolute favorite thing about The Book of Mormon is the promise found in the very last chapter:
"Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not tru; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
Yep, that's probably my favorite thing about The Book of Mormon, you don't have to take my word for it, you can find out for yourself. And I know that's so true. I have done just that, many times throughout my life. I have prayed to know if what I read in this great book is true and if it is indeed from God. And I can assure you that having just finished it again, I will pray to know again. I have no doubt about the answer that I will receive.
So, if you haven't read this book...Read it! If you have read it...Read It Again! It's the coolest book ever!
