Hello friends. A quick post about this book that I read about 8 years or so ago. It is all about the teachings of Christ found in the Book of Mormon. It is super informational. Did you know: "Some form of Christ's name is used 3,925 times in the Book of Mormon, a figure that averages out to one reference for every 1.7 verses; some 101 different names are used to describe the Only Begotten Son of God." Did you also know: "As 'another testament of Jesus Christ,' the Book of Mormon contains twice as many references to the Resurrection as does the New Testament." The book is also very inspiring, because, duh, it was written by Jeffrey R. Holland.
Here are a few quotes I scrounged together:
"Faith is to agree unconditionally - and in advance - to whatever conditions God may require in both the near and distant future."
"Those who do not believe Christ's words would not believe him personally."
"Good works are necessary for salvation, but they are not sufficient."
"That any writer - Joseph Smith or anyone else - could create the Book of Mormon out of whole cloth would be an infinitely greater miracle than that young Joseph translated it from an ancient record by 'the gift and power of God.'"
