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."

84-85 2 Ne 14:3-15:30

I love verses 5 and 6 of chapter 14, "a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night...there shall be a tabernacle...a place of refuge, and a covert from storm and from rain." This is the umbrella of the gospel. It reminds me of the Travelers Insurance commercials with the giant red umbrella protecting the people everywhere they go. It won't matter what falls from the sky the redeemer of israel will be there to guide and protect us.
