How to read the Book of Mormon by psmithut

"Reading the Book of Mormon is amazing and fulfilling each and every time."

How I did it: I just read and read and read and read. I just spent whatever time I could reading it.  I loved it. I gobbled it up.  It was "delicious" to me.  I read (listened, obviously) when I drove, I read when I ate, I read when I was sitting at home doing nothing, I read while my girlfriend did homework, and I just couldn't stop reading.  It was truly a wonderful experience.  It got to the point where I hated getting texts because it would interrupt my reading.  I loved it.

Lessons & tips:

  • Don't let yourself get distracted by TV or music, etc. 
  • Download the Church's mp3 listening version and listen on your iPod or in your car when you're busy. 
  • If you're on the computer, go to the Church website and read when you're waiting for a download.
  • Whatever you have to do, do it.   

Resources:

  • This link to the online edition
  • At the link provided above, there is another link in the top left corner that says "LISTEN". Click on it to get instructions to download the mp3 audio version.  It's read by Bruce Lindsey, who is quite good.

It took me
4 months
It made me
disappointed

How I did it: I was a TBM, but when it came the time when G.B. Hincley said we were going to be blessed for reading the book of mormon, I read it three times from cover to cover and I didn't see any change of any kind (by the way, I wasn't expecting material things of any kind). I tried to convince myself that the book of mormon was the word of God, but I couldn't. I felt really bad because I thought I was a bad mormon, that I hadn't the "spirit", what… Read how I did it…

    I’m trying to read it within a week or so, and then keep reading it because I know if I just read it in a short period of time, that won’t be fulfilling enough for me. Right on Green29! You will be super blessed by this! Proud of you. This is one of the best goals for any person, member or not :)

    The PACIFIC Ocean???!! 16 months ago

    The Nephites left Jerusalem, journeyed south-southeast past the Red Sea, turned left and spent 8 years walking east across Asia, then sailed the Pacific Ocean to get to the Americas. I never realized that before.

    Is this common knowledge that I somehow just missed out on all these years?

    Six Months! 16 months ago

    I did finish reading it by the end of 2007 and started again on January 1, 2008. I just finished this morning, having read pretty much every day for the first half of the year. Yay!

    Tomorrow I start again, perhaps in more than one language, and I have 184 days to accomplish reading it all the way through twice in one year. :)

    Read the Book of Mormon 21 months ago

    I have it, just need to read it – but not til I’m done with the older Scriptures. I have a theory that we get a little closer to Truth with each new “version” of religion – and a little farther away too – that each builds on the others. I’m looking forward to seeing how far in each direction these scriptures go.
