Quote by Marion G. Romney ~ “I remember reading...with one of my lads when he was very young. On one occasion I lay in the lower bunk and he in the upper bunk. We were each reading aloud alternate paragraphs of those last three marvelous chapters of Second Nephi. I heard his voice breaking and thought he had a cold, but he went on to the end of the three chapters. As we finished, he said to me, ‘Daddy, do you ever cry when you read the Book of Mormon?’ ‘Yes, son,’ I answered. ‘Sometimes the Spirit of the Lord so witnesses to me that the Book of Mormon is true that I do cry.’ ‘Well,’ he said, ‘that is what happened to me tonight.’” (CR, April 1949)
Michelle Nephi explains so crystal clear about the Savior’s example of obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel. He intently lays out faith repentance, baptism and the Holy Ghost. After his teaching, I sense his disappointment in the people who don’t quite get it. His teaching of the Holy Ghost and speaking with the tongue of angels is marvelous! His last three words are a testimony of how he lived his entire life…”I must obey.”

2 Nephi 26-30 “He Inviteth All to Come unto Him"
“Is the Book of Mormon true? -Yes. Who is it for? -Us. What is its purpose? To bring men to Christ. How does it do this? By testifying of Christ and revealing his enemies.” (President Benson CR, April 1975)
Ally This is from E. Scott in the family discussion part- “In the middle, it is difficult to discern what is right and what is wrong. This middle area is where Satan works with righteous people. … It is easy to become confused here. Live well within the wonderful area of good the Lord has defined, and you won’t have any problems with temptation. If you are not sure whether something is appropriate to look at, to listen to, to think about, or to do, then avoid it. You could be headed for one of Satan’s traps”
**That's a little heads up for all of us!
Cara I read this quote for my Book of Mormon class and really loved it. it goes right along with Ally's comment (I assume Ally...maybe it's Alan.) Ezra Taft Benson said that "In his cunning, Satan knows where and how to strike. It is in youth when his victims are most vulneralbe...The devil uses many tools." I think that the Book of Mormon is our biggest tool to fight back with. we can do ALL things through Christ, but if we aren't reading and studying like we need to be then the Lord cannot help us more than we are putting in.
As grandpa loves to say...You get out what you put in! :)
Garret That quote by President Benson is quite straightforward. Those who don't understand his purpose in saying that might interpret it incorrectly. "Is the Book of Mormon true? Yes." We should not look on blunt statements like these as being confrontational or condescending toward members of other faiths; rather, we should allow the surety with which President Benson speaks to bolster our own faith and courage.

2 Nephi 11-25 “My Soul Delighteth in the Words of Isaiah"
We’ve been commanded by the Savior Himself, “…behold, I say unto you, that ye ought to search these things. Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these things diligently; for great are the words of Isaiah.” ~3 Nephi 23:1
Michelle Since my wonderful Isaiah Class…I now LOVE to read any Isaiah passages in the scriptures…he is quoted a fair amount in the Old and New Testament, the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants. Isaiah’s main subject he wants us to understand? THE TEMPLE! He wants to get us going to the temple, to drink deeply and to come to know God and our Savior there.
