I want to let everyone know that this is an amazing thing that many people are not able to do because of their busy schedules, but I promise the blessings of reading the Book of Mormon are great no matter how much you read. I know that Jesus Christ is in them and that as we turn off the television and get off the internet and the videogames to read of His words, that we are greatly blessed even to the point that we do not know the limit of the blessings we receive each day. I don't wish to preach to anyone, just to offer a simple gift that I have been given, that everyone may understand the blessings they are able to receive by reading the word of God.

Life in The Scriptures
So I have always had a testimony of the Book of Mormon and of Jesus Christ, but I have never tried to increase the faith that I have. I thought that if I had faith in Christ that would be sufficient to help me live life fully and someday return to God. This is true I guess, but I have come to realize over the past few weeks that just as God wants us to obtain greater knowledge, He wants us to gain greater faith so that one day it will no longer be faith, but a sure knowledge-just as Amulek speaks of in Alma. It is a great thing to understand the scriptures more each time you read them. I have made a commitment to start and finish the Book of Mormon while I am here in Georgia. I have two more weeks and I started in Mosiah. I just finished Helaman and am moving onto 3 Nephi. This means that I have been reading for a couple of hours every day.
