"Do you want to get rid of a bad habit? Do you want to improve relationships in your family? Do you want to increase your spiritual capacity? Read the Book of Mormon! It will bring you closer to the Lord and his loving power."
Book of Mormon study is most rewarding when one focuses in its primary purpose — to testify of Jesus Christ. By comparison, all other issues are incidental.
"When you read the Book of Mormon, concentrate on the principal figure in the book — from its first chapter to the last — the Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God. And look for a second undergirding theme: God will keep his covenants with the remnants of the house of Israel. The Book of Mormon is a crucial component of that covenant."
The Book of Mormon is the most important religious text to be revealed from God to man since the writings of the New Testament were compiled nearly two millennia ago.
"Joseph Smith declared the Book of Mormon to be the most correct of any book on earth and the keystone of our religion. It is the only book that the Lord himself has testified to be true."
Each individual who prayerfully studies the Book of Mormon can also receive a testimony of its divinity.
"It was written anciently for our day. It reveals the endless Lordship of Jesus Christ in accounts of two ancient American dispensations — preserved for the benefit of us who live in this dispensation of the fullness of times."
