SUGGESTIONS FOR SMALL CHILDREN:
For young children have them go to http://www.mormonchannel.org/scripture-stories/1 to have the scriptures read (audio) to your children with a song at the beginning. Or go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMQEb9A9L2g - for audio and video of the scripture books.
(This might also be used as a goal for FAITH IN GOD)
SUGGESTIONS FOR TEENAGERS:
It would be a smart idea to coordinate this Book of Mormon Reading Challenge with the Young Women's Personal Progress Goals and the Young Men's - Duty to God Award. Check with your child's leader if you need more information or go on line to http://www.youth.lds.org/
REWARDS:
During your Family Home Evening or Family Counsel, set these goals together and then set up a family REWARD that you can all work towards. Let the kids be involved in choosing the reward (within reason).
ADULTS WHO FEEL OVERWHELMED
If you feel overwhelmed with life as it is, and one more thing will push you over the edge, then why don't you read the number of verses you are within the daily assigned chapters too! Remember - the main thing is being obedient and daily supping from it's pages.
“I find that when I get casual in my relationships with divinity and when it seems that no divine ear is listening and no divine voice is speaking, that I am far, far away. If I immerse myself in the scriptures, the distance narrows and the spirituality returns.” (Spencer W. Kimball)
LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF THE BOOK OF MORMON
There are so many ways to get the scriptures "into" our lives. One way is to "listen" to them while reading along, or just listen without reading. Any attempts count! Here are some computer links that will help you get started with the audio of the Book of Mormon.
