I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.
--Joseph Smith
Book of Mormon Readings
The Virtue Project is the only 10 hour project that requires a specific activity. To finish the Value of Virtue and earn your medallion, you get to read the Book of Mormon cover to cover. To accomplish this in 12 weeks, you should keep to the following schedule. By reading about 6 1/2 pages a day, you will finish the Book of Mormon by the end of Week 12.
I love the Book of Mormon. It truly is the word of God. Although it might seem like a challenge to read all 531 pages in three months, I promise you that it is worth it. And (once you get past the Isaiah chapters in 2 Nephi) it's actually a really engaging story. As you read each day, ponder and pray about what you have read. The Spirit will testify to you that the book is true. No, this is not a quick read. No, this is not a light novel. But it is a best-seller, and it's the greatest love story you will ever read. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). As you read the Book of Mormon, remember that it was written for you. It was written to help you and guide you and instruct you in these latter days. This book is one of the greatest gifts you will ever receive. And the wonderful ability that Personal Progress gives you is the ability to appreciate that gift. You don't have to read the Book of Mormon; you get to. I promise that reading this book cover to cover will change your life.
