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.
Many years ago I had the opportunity and blessing to meet President David O. McKay in person. I wish I could remember it more clearly. The first time was with a Seminary class while I was in high school. Growing up in St. George during that time, we didn't get to Salt Lake City often, and each spring the Seminary students took a trip up, and toured the Church Office building, and saw the Tabernacle, Salt Lake Temple, and other interesting places there. The tall Church Office building wasn't built for many years after. I remember what a gracious and polite gentleman he was. Around this same time, Wayne was on a mission in Sweden, and the highlight of his mission was having Pres. David O. McKay, and his wife Emma Ray Riggs McKay, when they were making a tour of missions in Europe. Wayne took the photo below. A few years later, we were living in the Salt Lake Valley, and President McKay was returning from an airplane trip to Scotland,...
It was 178 years ago when the "Election Day" fight happened in Gallatin, Missouri. The Brother John Butler, mentioned in the history below, was my 2nd great grandfather on my mother's line. Read to the bottom, and I have included an entry about him I posted on January 14, 2014. He was a bodyguard to the Prophet Joseph Smith, and quite a colorful character! His wife, Caroline Farozine Skeen Butler also was a true pioneer woman. In the "labels" you can find more stories about them.

ANTHONY JANSEN VAN SALLEE, 1607-1676 by Hazel Van Dyke Roberts, PH.D. I'm using the historical writing of Hazel Roberts, as she did a lot of research on it. Anthony was the son of the Pirate King, Jan Jansen, told about in the last entry, # 154. This is about an interesting part of early New England History. New Amsterdam became the city New York when the English conquered the Dutch in 1664. Anthony Jansen Van Salee was a unique, interesting, and important figure in the early history of New Amsterdam, He has been found to be the most unusual and interesting figure in the New Amsterdam records . Contentious and obviously a nuisance to them, he was treated by the authorities with the respect due to a person of importance. It is speculated that Anthony’s ...
