President Benson warned a curse would fall on the Church if we did not begin to take the book of Mormon seriously and study it. I believe that curse is a loss of faith in Christ, and a wandering towards the mists of darkness that lead to the great and spacious building. The book of Mormon literally is the rod of iron, the word of God.
Sadly, too many members think that having read it a few times in a lifetime is sufficient to understand it. The depth of doctrine that is hidden in its pages is amazing. Want to understand revelation? Study the book of Mormon. Want to understand miracles? Study the book of Mormon. Want to understand the temple endowment? Study the book of Mormon.
