TRUE DOCTRINE CHANGES BEHAVIOR

"True Doctrine, understood, changes attitudes and behavior. The study of the doctrines of the gospel will improve behavior more quickly than a study of behavior will improve behavior...That is why we stress so forcefully the study of the doctrines of the gospel."
-- Elder Boyd K. Packer, Conference Report, Oct. 1986

QUOTE FROM RUSSELL M. NELSON

"Each individual who prayerfully studies the Book of Mormon can also receive a testimony of its divinity. In addition, this book can help with personal problems in a very real way. Do you want to get rid of a bad habit? Do you want to improve relationships in your family? Do you want to increase your spiritual capacity? Read the Book of Mormon! It will bring you closer to the Lord and His loving power.
He who fed a multitude with five loaves and two fishes--He who helped the blind to see and the lame to walk -- can also bless you! He has promised that those who live by the precepts of this book 'shall receive a crown of eternal life'".

--A Testimony of the Book of Mormon Ensign, Nov. 1999
