My Review: *****--5 Stars
When I first picked this book up, I thought, "Wow! There are 52 questions found in the Book of Mormon?" And then I remembered Alma 5. There are quite a few in there (42), so I guessed it would be possible to have 52. Imagine my surprise to discover that there are actually 543!!
I love the format of the book. There is a question given for each chapter and then stories, other scriptures, quotes, and the authors thoughts. Together, they all help jump start some serious thinking.
I must admit that there are times when it's not always easy to "liken the scriptures" to myself and my life. I thought this book had some very great insights on how to do that. I loved how each short chapter gave a real life story to go along with the question. It made me realize that sometimes I make things harder than they need to be and the simplest of experiences can be applied to my life. These questions are definitely food for thought and I believe it would be easy to spend a week pondering each and every one of them.
There were many, many questions that I hadn't ever given a second glance to and others that I had pondered on a little bit before. I found a question right off the bat, #2, "Shall we not be diligent in keeping the commandments of the Lord?" that really hit me and helped me a lot in my personal life. There were many amazing chapters that really hit home for me--too many to sit and list. I'd like to take more time to really go through, pick apart, and ponder each chapter.
I think the keys to change are to know that it is possible and to take it one step at a time and this book can really help with that.
