90 Day Encounter with the Book of Mormon
reading schedule
One of my Mom's friends in her ward got a challenge from her son's mission president. The challenge was that the missionary & the parents were to read the Book of Mormon 3 times in 3 months. Wow! Doing this made such an impact on their family that they are doing the challenge again & she shared it with my Mom.
Each time that you read the Book of Mormon, you're supposed to read it with a different perspective. The first time, you're supposed to mark in pencil all the "stories" of the people. The second time, you're supposed to mark in red pencil all the references to the Savior. The third time, in blue pencil you liken the scriptures to yourself and mark anything that strikes out to you personally.
My Mom passed out paper back copies of the Book of Mormon and challenged us to do this last night at FHE. I thought it was a neat idea & wanted to pass it on to all of you. I put the link on the top of this post and you can print out the directions & there is a reading schedule too. You can change the time length and read it 3 times in 6 months or whatever works.
The very end of the directions gives a promise which is: "This Book of Mormon read will change your life. You and those who read with you will never be the same. You will come closer to Jesus Christ. This experience will energize and spiritualize your life. It will transform you and all those who participate with you."

This sounds so cool. I want to try this. What color pencil do you mark the stories in, and where do you get a paper copy of the BOM? Great idea, we are going to do this.
It's just the blue soft cover BOM that my Mom gave us to use... you can always order it from the distribution center if you don't have any extras at home. I think it's a neat idea to use another copy that you can totally mark up. For the pencil colors you can choose whatever you'd like. I was going to do yellow, red, then blue.
