Book of Mormon Challenge

I found it a lot easier to understand the Book of Mormon if I started with a prayer to my Heavenly Father asking for His strength to open my mind and heart as to its meaning.

Book of Mormon Challenge

If we read at least 2 pages per day, starting today, we will be able to finish the Book of Mormon by May 16, 2010. I know we can do it. Start today if you haven't done so already. I know our lives will be enriched every day we read the Book of Mormon.
