One's own knowledge and understanding of truth are always evolving. This blog seems to have morphed mainly into a collection of scriptural thoughts and insights, mostly for the purpose of personal exploration. I believe that we can "know" spiritual truths. I also believe that the scriptures can be a gateway to that knowledge.

The Book of Mormon



The Book of Mormon is truly an amazing book. If you haven't read it you should. If you have read it, you should read it again. It is an inexhaustible well of spiritual refreshment.  It contains a feast for the soul and a strong witnesses of Jesus Christ.  It is a call to walk the path towards eternal life.

The Book of Mormon is tangible evidence of God's work of revelation in recent times.  It physically exists. You can hold it in your hands and because of that it must be reckoned with.  Why is it here and how did it come to be? If the Book of Mormon is read with a prayerful and open heart and studied in any depth one must acknowledge that it cannot be dismissed.  One's own heart can provide a witness of it's truth, but added to that is the continuing research of scholars into the structure, doctrines and historicity of the Book of Mormon.  Like I said, it is a force to be reckoned with.  Dismissing it as a fraudulent work is totally inconsistent with the contents inside it's cover.

A New Day for the Book of Mormon is a recent documentary which after a lighthearted introduction explores current academic analysis and scholarly research on the Book of Mormon.  Please take the time to watch.
