17 Testimonies of the Book of Mormon from Latter-day Prophets
The Book of Mormon is the keystone of my religion. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I am grateful for the influence this book has had on me. It does not replace the Bible for me—a book I also love—but rather it reaffirms and enhances the doctrines taught therein….
What Do You Refuse to Know?
One verse stands out to me in Alma 10. Amulek, speaking of the reasons he was not fully engaged as a member before he was commanded by an angel to return home, take care of Alma, and be blessed by him: “Nevertheless, I did harden my heart, for I was called many times and…

Disputing or Inquiring? In a previous post, I wrote about how Laman’s and Lemuel’s troubles stemmed from a lack of testimony. As Nephi’s record unfolds, that reality becomes increasingly evident.
