Thirty Ways #17: Read The Book of Mormon

When I read the Book of Mormon, I feel close to Jesus Christ, almost like I have spent time with a dear friend.  I feel like I know Him better than when I started.  This happens particularly when I read for longer periods of time.  Christ's gospel is so clearly explained in the Book of Mormon and there are so many great examples in the stories and history that is told.  Similarly to the Bible, I find myself learning from it all.

You can go to this great link to read an online, search-able copy of The Book or Mormon.  http://lds.org/scriptures/bofm?lang=eng  I recommend 3 Nephi 11.  There is an account where Christ comes to visit an ancient people in the Americas.  3 Nephi 11

Also, here are the rest of the suggested scriptures to read one a day.  I recommend you read them and then discuss them and read some more and talk with your families about what they are trying to teach.
