QUESTIONS OF THE SOUL

Lately I have been very grateful for the Book of Mormon. As I've been stressed about school work or thinking about the future and how I want my life to go, I've turned to the Book of Mormon to give me direction and understanding. More than explaining eternal truths and doctrine, the book also brings the Spirit into my life to lift my spirit, energize my soul, and give me courage to face another day. The Book of Mormon was written for our day - for us to read and apply to our lives. This past week I've made a list of questions of the soul that the Book of Mormon answers.
