Book of Mormon Promise

Well, I wanted to write a little entry about the Book of Mormon, today. All I can say right now, is that it is the word of God. He gave it to his children through prophets, righteous men who were called to lead in His gospel on the earth. The Lord's truth has been restored in its fullness. The Book of Mormon is part of this restoration. It is the word of God and living by the gospel principles it teaches will bring us back to our Heavenly Father.

President Gordon B. Hinckley, the 15th Prophet and president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints introduced a challenge to read the Book of Mormon within a year's time. He said,
"I offer a challenge to members of the Church throughout the world and to our friends everywhere to read or reread the Book of Mormon. If you will read a bit more than one and one-half chapters a day, you will be able to finish the book before the end of this year. Very near the end of its 239 chapters, you will find a challenge issued by the prophet Moroni as he completed his record nearly 16 centuries ago. Said he:

" 'And I exhort you to remember these things; for the time speedily cometh that ye shall know that I lie not, for ye shall see me at the bar of God; and the Lord God will say unto you: Did I not declare my words unto you, which were written by this man, like as one crying from the dead, yea, even as one speaking out of the dust? . . .

" 'And God shall show unto you, that that which I have written is true' (Moroni 10:27, 29).

"Without reservation I promise you that if each of you will observe this simple program, regardless of how many times you previously may have read the Book of Mormon, there will come into your lives and into your homes an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God."
