Book of Mormon
Its crazy as to how many books are out there in the world today. You can go to a library and check out a book on pretty much anything!! Love and romance, wars, vampires, dragons, knights and shining armor, books on sports and people lives.You name it and there is a book about it. But ask yourself what are these books really teaching you? Are they teaching you to be kind to others, to love those around you. Do they make you happy or sad? Do they make you want to be like the people you read about? What do they make you think about? Are they helping you to learn and become a better person? Are they giving us more knowledge and wisdom? there are so many questions that you can ask yourself. "Desires dictate our priorities, priorities shape our choices, and choices determine our actions. The desires we act on determine our changing, our achieving, and our becoming." (Elder Dallin H. Oaks quorum of the twelve apostles) This quote is so true when it comes to i think reading books. The things we read put certain desires into our minds and with those desires it then determines our priorities and the choices we make and then of course how we act. Books really do have such a huge impact on who are and what we will become. When i read i want it to be something that i am interested in, Something that will make me happy and want learn as much as i can. There is one book that i have found that i think EVERYONE!! should read. It is a book that when you read it you can feel of its goodness, it makes you want to become a better person, it gives you all the wisdom and knowledge that you need to know who you are, What you can become, and how do it. Its something you can read and when you are feeling down or going through a trial. It can help you to get through that trial and it can lift you up and make you feel happy. It is a book that you can relate to because the experiences and the stories that are in it are REAL!! they really happened. The people we read about are real people. Having real life problems. It teaches us how do love others, how to be kind to those around us. And why it is so important. This book lets us know how to live our life the way our Heavenly Father wants us to. Gives us step by step of the things we MUST do so we can live with him again. There are so many other great things this book teaches us. We just need to find it and read it. It is like any other book. You won't know what is like or the things that i have mentioned are true until you read it and find out for yourselves. This book is called THE BOOK OF MORMON! it is another testament of Jesus Christ. God loves all his children the same and wants every one to know of the goodness this book brings. It is gods word!! There is a promise in back of this book given to us by a prophet of god. He says: "And when ye shall receive these things i would exhort you that ye would ask god the eternal father in the name of Christ if these things are not true, and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart with real intent having faith in Christ he will manifest the truth if it unto you by the power of the holy ghost, and by the power of the holy ghost you may know the truth of all things." He is telling us to try it. Really ask and be willing to act upon that answer that you get. I know that this book is true!! I know that is the most correct book upon the earth. I know that by reading this book that i can come closer to my Father in Heaven. I know that he loves me, and wants me to be happy. I know what i need to to everyday of my life because i have read this book and know what it contains. So just like any other book you would read, check this one out and see how it makes you feel and what it can truly do for you. Again i know this book is true and it has blessed my life so much. I know that it can do the same for you. Please read it and before you judge it and shun it down. Read it to know what it is really like. I know that god will not lead you astray with this book!
