7 Free Resources for Studying or Teaching the Book of Mormon

Posted by Tevya | Jan 17, 2016 | church, learning, scriptures & study, teaching | 5 |

This is post 5 of 5 in the series “Enhance Your Scripture Study” I hate lists of things to try, do, or remember. I think that for most people it’s totally impractical to remember or apply them. If a post boasts “5000 Ways to Improve Your Memes” I won’t give it a 2nd thought. If it offers 5, I might think about clicking it. Only 3? Now we’re talkin’! So I’m apologizing in advance for this list. However, these are carefully selected resources that I use myself, and I think you’ll find very helpful for your Book of Mormon...

The LDS Scripture Citation Index is a website (and free app) which lists out every scripture reference made over the pulpit. We mentioned this in a previous article about enhancing your scripture study, but didn’t go...

Speed Read the Book of Mormon

This is post 2 of 5 in the series “Enhance Your Scripture Study” There’s a number of companies researching ways to help speed read easily, without the normal practice it takes to learn to do it with normal printed pages and web articles. The idea is our brain’s can process the words much faster than we normally read. But we have to move our eyes down each line, and most people mentally say the sounds of the word. These two things slow us down a lot. So companies like one called “Spritz” has done quite a bit of research...

This is post 1 of 5 in the series “Enhance Your Scripture Study” Are you like me? You kneel down at night to say your nightly prayer and start out with sincere thanksgiving for your many blessings, and then your wandering mind gets thrown off track. You suddenly realize you have been thinking about ways to improve that meatloaf you made for dinner the same night? Or you wake up a few hours later ashamed that your sleepiness got the best of you while you were trying to prayer to your Eternal Father. Eat, Move, Sleep A few weeks ago I...
