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."

10-11

I felt the power of faith that can be found in a strong marriage. Sariah was having a tough time believing in the safe return of her sons. Lehi was able to comfort Sariah with his faith and patience and confidence in the promises of the Lord. When the storms and trials in life come, it is wonderful to have someone to lean on to boost our faith and give us a renewed vision of the Lord's promises. Lehi had seen a vision, he knew it and could not be shaken from it.
