Another chance to read the Book of Mormon in 100 days

If you are in another reading schedule with other Scriptures please continue that schedule.


Week 1


Day 1

Read: Preface (Title Page), Introduction, Testimony of Three Witnesses, Testimony of Eight Witnesses, Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith

Mark: The quote from Joseph Smith in the Introduction, “I told the brethren…any other book.”

“I would like to urge [everyone] to again read the Book of Mormon…There is nothing we could do of greater importance than to have fortified in our individual lives an unshakable conviction that Jesus is the Christ, the Living Son of the Living God. And, my brothers and sisters, that is the purpose of the coming forth of this remarkable and wonderful book.”

~ President Gordon B. Hinckley



Day 2


Read: Brief Explanation, 1 Nephi 1-2

Mark: 1 Nephi 1:20

“The Lord’s tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive

from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ…The Lord’s tender mercies do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. Faithfulness, obedience, and humility invite tender mercies into our

lives, and it is often the Lord’s timing that enables us to recognize and treasure these important blessings.”

~ Elder David A. Bednar

How have you experienced the tender mercies of the Lord?



Day 3

Read: 1 Nephi 3-5

Mark: 1 Nephi 3:7

“I have learned not to put question marks but to use exclamation points when calls are issued through inspired channels of priesthood government.”

~ Elder Russell M. Nelson

Why did Laman and Lemuel murmur? Why did Nephi support his father? What determines whether you are a murmurer or a supporter of the Lord’s work and His prophets?



Day 4

Read: 1 Nephi 6-10

Mark: 1 Nephi 10:17-19

“The intensity of our desire to share the gospel is a great indicator of the extent of our personal conversion.”

~ Elder Dallin H. Oaks

What was Nephi’s response when the people in the strange building mocked him and the others who were partaking of the fruit? Why?


Day 5

Read: 1 Nephi 11-12

Mark: 1 Nephi 11:20-23

“You need time to meditate and ponder, to think, to wonder at the great plan of happiness that the Lord has outlined for His children. You need to read the scriptures….I heard President

David O. McKay say to the members of the Twelve on one occasion, ‘Brethren, we do not spend enough time meditating.’”

~ President Gordon B. Hinckley

How often do you take time to ponder, to meditate on things that are important?



Day 6

Read: 1 Nephi 13-14

Mark: 1 Nephi 14:14

“This great American nation the Almighty raised up by the power of his omnipotent hand, that it might be possible in the latter days for the kingdom of God to be established in the earth.”

~ President Joseph F. Smith

Nephi saw that “other books” would come forth through the gentiles. What important things would the “other books” do? What are those “other books”?


Day 7

Read: 1 Nephi 15-16

Mark: 1 Nephi 15:23-24

“If there is any one thing most needed in this time of tumult and frustration, when men and women and youth and young adults are desperately seeking for answers to the problems which afflict mankind, it is an ‘iron rod’ as a safe guide along the straight path on the way to eternal life.”

~ President Harold B. Lee

How can you ‘hold fast’ to the iron rod?
