It was described as a new book that Hank Smith found very helpful in his Book of Mormon and New Testament classes, with insights that benefited him and his students.
This book has been a real blessing to me in my Book of Mormon and New Testament classes, some of the insights that are there.
Very rarely, John, do they have the entire religion faculty at BYU read a book, but they did on that one.
I think one of the greatest insights in here that's blessed me and hopefully my students, we all know the Moroni's promise of verse 4, but verse 3 is, ponder how merciful God has been since the creation of Adam down until this time, and ponder it in your hearts. Let this fill you with gratitude, and this idea that gratitude is the gateway to revelation was a beautiful thought to me.
Appreciate so much the insights in here.
