Lessons 3 & 4 by Echo Sikstrom on Scribd
The Book of Mormon is the foundation of my testimony, and I seek strength from it's pages. There was a time when I was struggling and found myself lost. I don't remember how these words came to me but later I found them in the Book of Mormon and that was if I wanted to get closer to God then I should read the Book of Mormon. I definitely needed help. I felt lost spiritually, and so I started my sincere study of the Book of Mormon. As I did, I found the quote that I read from President Hinckley and it was in the Introduction of the Book of Mormon:
"Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”
"We invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost. (See Moroni 10:3–5.)"
I have learn more about the purpose to this life, and who God is and who the Savior is by reading the Book of Mormon. True doctrine is found in its pages abridged my Mormon and translated by the gift and power of God. I have a testimony that the Book of Mormon is true, and have felt this witness throughout my life as I continue to study, ponder and apply its teachings.
