Episode notes

The speaker shares how a message from President Ezra Taft Benson about the power of the Book of Mormon prompted them to start seriously studying it. They experienced greater power to resist temptation, avoid deception, and stay on the straight and narrow path. By hungering and thirsting after the words of the Book of Mormon, they found life in greater abundance and a spiritual power and connection with Jesus Christ. The speaker encourages others to seriously study the Book of Mormon, believing that there has never been a better time to do so in the history of the church.

How does recognizing Jesus Christ’s voice in the Book of Mormon change our personal study? Dr. John Hilton III explores new and familiar territory in the beginning of 1 Nephi and teaches us new study techniques to enhance our testimonies of Jesus Christ.
