The Importance of the Book of Mormon

Book of Mormon StudiesTestimony of Book of Mormon

“If they saw our day, and chose those things which would be of greatest worth to us, is not that how we should study the Book of Mormon? We should constantly ask ourselves, ‘Why did the Lord inspire Mormon (or Moroni or Alma) to include that in his record? What lesson can I learn from that to help me live in this day and age?’”

--Ezra T. Benson (“The Book of Mormon—Keystone of Our Religion,” Ensign, Nov. 1986, 6).
