They have so many helps to study The Book of Mormon, and this is a beginning. We are beginning with the Title page, and Introductory pages. I hope you enjoy the entries from The Book of Mormon Central, and go to their website, and start getting their helps on your own e mail!
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.
I ran across this article this morning from a blog called: LDS S.M.I.L E. You can also follow it at: http://www.ldssmile.com (Copy and paste) It stands for LDS Spiritually Minded is Life Eternal. I have copied it as it was in their blog. In my title, I mentioned I have had a Personal Gethsemane, not once, but two times, both quite different. They are extremely personal, and I will not go into them here. Only some family members know, and not even some of whom are my dearest friends. Some deep problems are very personal, and some are known by many people, and perhaps are mentioned in the media! They are as diverse as our lives are! But I do know the only thing that allowed me to keep my faith, courage, and personal self control to go on with normal life was our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the comfort I felt from prayer, and yes -- Personal Priesthood blessings. ...

These are great thoughts, and very wise! Are We Ever Released from the Responsibilities of Parenting? By Julie de Azevedo Hanks · January 16, 2018 We’ve heard phrases like “parenting is a calling from which you are never released [i] , [ii] ” over the pulpit many times, but rarely do we actually reflect on what this means. When taken literally, that it’s a parent’s job to continue to be their child’s caretaker throughout their lives, this belief can create enmeshed families with weak boundaries that undermine the adult child’s agency. Here are some ideas to consider about the danger of parents who are overly involved with their adult children and adult children who don’t fully transition into an adult role. Intrusive Parents Too often, this belief of eternal parenthood is used to justify a parent giving constant (often unsolicited) input or criticism into an adult child’s life decisions. Does never being released from parenthood mea...
