Who wants to Read the Book Of Mormon With me?

[pam]

Trying to read it by Easter is pushing it too much for me. Sure I could read it...but would I get anything out of a blur of words?

yeah i think my idea for that is kinda shot down lol work started again today and i was wiped out im thinkin like a chapter.. maybe two a day, anyway, so i read mine and im still looking forward to getting into alma again lol.. i really admire Nephi though. living with such pessimistic siblings! and staying optimistic and positive all the time. its such a great example. i need to work on my optimism i think. how did your's all go?

It's quite possible to read the BoM in four weeks. However, do you want to "read" or know and understand what you have read? I tried to read all the scriptures in two years and found I was reading words. There's a lot to be said for slow and steady. Was the goal to say you have read it maybe re-read or did you want something else? Are you going to open up chapters for discussion?

I have been reading all the Book of Mormon posts by Pam... not through all of them but is my goal.... I can do this.. I will read over the weekend. I think each time we read we come away with more undrstanding so this is always a super good idea.

Depends on your goal and where you are in life, IMO. I made a goal early in the year to read the BoM in 60 days. Here's a quote from my journal about it:

One of my goals is to read the Book of Mormon in 60 days. I am not expecting to receive deep insight or reveal new doctrines. But I do expect to become reacquainted with a beloved book. I do expect to feel the Spirit again in my life. I expect to have these 60 days help me to create a habit of turning to the scriptures more.


Some days I was just reading the words. Other days, I heard the Spirit speak to me.

I am reading the Book of Mormon but taking it very slow and steady this time. I've read it numerous times before...but never really got all that I could from it. This time I want it to mean more to me than it has in the past.

I'm doing research as I go along. I'm looking for articles by General Authorities on lds.org that go along with it. As well as reading lesson material from the institute manual online.

I have the BoM on cd and listen to them when I drive to work. The first day that I did I was thrilled when I got home and realized I wasn't stressed out. If you have ever driven on the freeways southern California, you know that it is one of those guarantees that all your muscles with be in a knot and your frame of mind has shifted off track. One of the missionaies told me that a member in one of the other wards that rides the Metrolink Train listens to the scriptures on his Ipod. There is so many techniques that members are using that I love. I have a three sets of scriptures one for work, the car and home.

Those are the times when I wish I had a longer commute. It takes only about 5-7 minutes for me to drive to work.

Where can I get a book of Mormon on an audio CD?
