30 Day Book of Mormon Challenge

Who would like to join me in a challenge?  A challenge to read the Book of Mormon in 30 days (+ a week -- because we all need a little grace period. :)

I participated in this challenge with my ward in January of 2011 and it was a powerful experience. There was power in knowing several other people had their sights set on the same goal, and it was fueled by Sacrament meetings and Sunday School heavily based on individual's experience of  reading the Book of Mormon.

For me personally, it was a month filled with a lot of personal revelation. And never before in my life have I read the Book of Mormon as one big story. As the days wore on, I was anxious to share it. My testimony of this sacred book rooted deep into my soul, and I couldn't help but talk about it to people. The message of the Gospel stood out so plainly, I could not deny it.

If I remember correctly, I ended up devoting about 30 minutes a day to reading my scriptures. Often I would break it up throughout the day, but I can tell you, it is possible if you make it a priority!

So, who is with me? I'm starting tomorrow (August 9, 2013) but remember I'm giving myself a buffer week. So I will be done on September 15. I hope to blog about some things that perhaps stand out this time around (but I won't necessarily make that my priority), but if you have special thoughts on the Book of Mormon, please share it on your blog. I would love to read yours!
