SCRIPTURE STUDY
7 Short Videos to Kick Off Your Book of Mormon Come Follow Me Study
The Come Follow Me curriculum for this year is covering the Book of Mormon. Fortunately, Book of Mormon Central has produced a massive amount of content that can help individuals dive deeper into the Book of Mormon. This content includes over 500 videos which are featured on our YouTube channel and included in our scripture app called ScripturePlus.
This week we are studying the introductory pages to the Book of Mormon. Among all the amazing resources out there, we have seven videos to help you and your family get started.
Title Page
We teamed up with artist Katie Payne to create a richly illustrated and beautifully animated video of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. It gives an overview of the plates from which the book was translated, showing how they were handed down from Mormon to his son Moroni and eventually to Joseph Smith. The wording of the video’s narration comes mainly from the Book of Mormon’s Title Page.
Introduction
This video takes the text of the Introduction of the Book of Mormon and brings it to life with relevant images and video animation. It is perfect for sharing with family members or those who are just beginning to learn about the Book of Mormon.
Joseph Smith Testimony
Another video based on portions of the text from the Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Come Follow Me Lesson Videos
We have begun a new video series with BYU instructors Taylor Halverson and Tyler Griffin. In these two videos, they review the Title Page, Introduction, and the testimonies of the Three and Eight Witnesses.
Evidence Videos
Throughout the last few years, Book of Mormon Central has created several evidence videos on our second YouTube channel, called BMC Studios. The following two videos focus on the plates of the Book of Mormon and their miraculous translation.
The Currant Bush by Elder Hugh B. Brown (1883-1975) of the Council of the Twelve Stories from General Authorities. (From the New Era) Over the years our General Authorities have recounted stories that have touched the hearts of their listeners and changed behavior. Many of these stirring examples come from their own lives or from the lives of friends and acquaintances. All ring as true today as when first recounted. This story of the Currant Bush is well known. Elder Hugh B. Brown was a noted Apostle, and a counselor to President David O. McKay. It is fascinating to put his name in "Google" and read about his interesting and amazing life. This story can inspire you when you are having problems . Elder Hugh B. Brown, soldier, lawyer, Mission President, and finally Apostle. ...
Last night we went to a very inspiring lecture in the St. George Tabernacle by Glen Rawson. He was a Seminary teacher for 30 years, and now is an LDS tour guide, and talks often in various places. He told several inspiring and touching stories about pioneer women, and their trials, and how strong they were. He looked at our audience, and said to us, "You folks in this audience come from strong stock!" I truly felt what he was saying, and decided to repost two posts that I have done before, about one of my great-greatgrandmothers, Carolyn Farozine Skeen Butler. I have several wonderful pioneer stories about my great grandmothers, and will probably repost some in the next few days. This story has been on my blog before, as you can read -- WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 2014 202.

I wrote about my great-grandfather Haden Wells Church in blog # 23, last December 3, 2013. That was about the day the original pioneers arrived in St. George, Utah, and he was among their number. In that blog there is a very brief history of his life. In this entry, I will tell more details. He was a great pioneer, and went on 5 missions, the last of which was in Tennessee, where he died of typhoid fever, and was buried next to his father, in his home town of Shady Grove, Tennessee. Haden was a member of the Mormon Battalion, and this story begins with their arrival back in the Salt Lake Valley on July 27 or 29th, right after the very first company arrived with Brigham Young, when he said "This is the place!" The battalion members were listed as being mustered-out of the army on July 16th since their year's enlistment ended on that date. Little is known of Sarah Ann and her baby, Hyrum , before they were reunited. But it is kn...
