There is power in it!

"Is there not something deep in our hearts that longs to draw nearer to God, to be more like Him in our daily walk, to feel His presence with us constantly? If so, then the Book of Mormon will help us do so more than any other book.

It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the straight and narrow path...When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."

Ezra Taft Benson

66-67 2 Ne. 5:15-6:5

A positive, faithfilled, and optimistic people is an industrious people. Nephi taught his people to labor with their hands. They built buildings, grew crops, mined ore, etc. They were very active and doing. The lamanites were the opposite. They were an idle people, full of mischief and subtlety. Being hard working and industrious is living "after the the manner of happiness."
