Not only would you undoubtedly be helping yourself, but you would also have the opportunity to inspire a lot of people with your story. You can do it!

For those of you interested, I'm doing a little Christmas project that could end up helping you and others. For those of you who have a facebook account, I have a Group posted that you can join here Group Page If not, here's what it says: What's the greatest gift you've ever received? Think about that for a minute. What was given to you that was so incredibly special that it still affects you to this day? For me personally, it was the Book of Mormon. No, it wasn't just the book itself. I've owned billions of those since I was a kid. Rather it was the timing of the book. It was the purpose of it and the meaning of it at a time of my life where I needed it most. It was a life changing experience that I'll never forget. As I contemplate over what I should give to my closest friends and family, there's nothing that makes more sense than giving them a gift that impacts them as much as it did me. I'm giving you all a challenge. From December 10th to December 24th read the entire Book of Mormon within that time frame. I know many of you are thinking, "How is this a gift? There's no way I'm going to be able to do that with everything that's going on. I have work. I have Finals. I have shopping to do. I have a life!" That my friends is what's going to make it all that more special. It's a huge sacrifice. If you follow through, I want you to write me back. Tell me what kind of difference it made in your Holiday season. How did you feel? What happened? Did any powerful experiences occur? I want sincere, honest, heartfelt responses. I will then be putting those responses together and creating a book that can be read by anybody anywhere. I don't care where you are or what you're doing with your life, this WILL make a huge difference on how you approach this holiday season regardless of your situation, and your testimony could possibly end up affecting thousands of lives. Who knows, maybe this is the one gift YOU personally have been praying for this Christmas. PLEASE, spread the word to anybody you know that could benefit from this, LDS or not. Invite people on your friends list. Challenge family members. If you've been looking to make a difference this Christmas, here's your chance! Merry Christmas! You can go at your own pace if you'd like, but here's the schedule I'd recommend. You will finish conveniently on Christmas Eve. December 10th - 1 Nephi 1 - 17 December 11th - 1 Nephi 18 - 2 Nephi 9 December 12th - 2 Nephi 10 - 29 December 13th - 2 Nephi 30 - Mosiah 1 December 14th - Mosiah 2 - 17 December 15th - Mosiah 18 - Alma 3 December 16th - Alma 4 - 15 December 17th - Alma 16 - 30 December 18th - Alma 31 - 43 December 19th - Alma 44 - 57 December 20th - Alma 58 - Helaman 7 December 21st - Helaman 8 - 3 Nephi 6 December 22nd - 3 Nephi 7 - 22 December 23rd - 3 Nephi 23 - Ether 2 December 24th - Ether 3 - Moroni 10 Remember, once you have finished I'd love to hear from you! Write me at [email protected]. Heck, write me even if you didn't quite finish. Also, let me know if you are giving me permission to put your story in this book. I will not be doing any editing to it whatsoever. Not even the spelling errors! I want people to feel your story, not mine.

Hey everyone. I'm Joe. I'm 21 and was born and raised in the church. That's a little deceiving though because I didn't really start applying the gospel until about a year and a half ago. It's made a HUGE difference in my life. I was not a very good person for awhile. Anyways, I need your help. I just posted a topic in the general discussion section concerning the matter Link
