Thinking...

I've been asked before, well why does it seem like Mormons favor the book of Mormon so much if its just as important as the Bible?  And I said, well to me, I think that although I love the bible so much, I love the fact that the Book of Mormon helped my testimony to personally grow because although I love the bible, if I read it and pray about it and know that it is true, there is still like a thousand churches it seems that also believes in the bible. But then I read the book of Mormon and I pray and have found and still find it to be true and so I know that there is one church that believes in the Book of Mormon, the LDS church.  It is important to me because of its role in my conversion but not because I specifically love it more than the bible. I don't know, that's just how I think of it sometimes. Why do you love the Bible? Why do you love the Book of Mormon?

"It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that.  It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too.  But there is something more.  There is a power in the book, which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book.  You will find greater power to resist temptation.  You will find the power to avoid deception.  You will find power to stay on the straight and narrow path.  The scriptures are called the 'words of life' (D&C 84:85) and  no more is that more true than it is in the Book of Mormon.  When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."
