Book of Mormon Challenge

Of the great potential that the Book of Mormon has to bless our lives, Marion G. Romney said the following:

“I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase; mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to the counsel of their parents. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity—the pure love of Christ—will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness” (Ensign, May 1980, p. 67).
In addition, reading the Book of Mormon is essential for gaining a personal testimony of the restored gospel and for preparing to serve a full-time mission. For these purposes, we have decided to read the Book of Mormon by the end of the year 2013, starting October 1, 2013. When President Hinckley issued a similar challenge to all members of the church in 2005, members had 97 days. Our challenge will require us to complete it in 92 days. Here is a reading schedule which will help us reach our goal:

We invite any who would like to to join with us.
