Why Study the Book of Mormon?

Three reasons why we should make the study of the Book of Mormon a lifetime pursuit are these:

·         First, the Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion—the keystone of our witness of Jesus Christ, of our doctrine, and of our testimony.

·         Second, the Book of Mormon was written for our day.

·         Third, the Book of Mormon helps us draw nearer to God.

Since the Book of Mormon is the keystone of our witness of Christ and the fullness of His gospel, it is important in our study to give special attention to the many teachings and testimonies of the Savior it contains.
