MP E23 How Do I Use the Book of Mormon in Missionary Work? (Preach My Gospel Ch. 5 Part 2)-

Brian, John and Sean continue their analysis of PMG Ch. 5. During this episode they talk about how to effectively help others to understand the Book of Mormon by reading with them.

Episode Highlights:

2:48 Acts 8:27-31- Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch.  "Understandest thou what thou readest?"  "How can I except some man should guide me?"

4:50 Many people you teach either don't read the Book of Mormon or don't understand what they are reading.  What if you handed someone a tool they had never used before? 

8:18 President Nelson clip of reading the Book of Mormon with an African King. 

13:13 Reading the Book of Mormon with people (PMG pg. 116)

15:28 Be thoughtful about which chapters you choose to read with people.  Discern their needs. Eventually, encourage them to read from the beginning.

17:15  Give a "movie trailer" about what they are going to be reading so that they will be excited to get into the text.

17:57  When you give someone a copy of the Book of Mormon give them a highlighter.  Encourage them to highlight and to write in the margins of the pages.

28:30 The team analyzes what they learned from the role play.
