Getting Started

There are many ways to study the scriptures—cover-to-cover, topical, chronological, etc. Each is effective in its own way. However, for my intent and purpose, I will be doing an in-depth scripture study searching for personal meaning for my everyday life. I will be focusing my efforts on cover-to-cover with some topical side trips. I have no timeline for completion, but will instead take as much time as needed to dig a little deeper.

I have chosen to start with the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ. I find the language somewhat easier to understand yet rewarding. It also contains many of the writings of Isaiah, so it has allowed me to ease into the more complex language used by Isaiah. I'm finding that understanding Isaiah is helping me gain a deeper understanding of the gospel and helping me see things I've never seen before in other books of scripture.
