Find Peace by Reading the Book of Mormon

I have known Melanie Wellman Stroud for well over 15 years. I remember attending a ward or stake fireside back when I first knew her. It was about how she studies the Book of Mormon. It inspired me. 

She has since had a roller coaster of experiences. She has been hosting a podcast called Come Follow Me for Us since January 2019. One of her perennial topics is how we all need to study The Book of Mormon every day. 

For many years now, I have had the goal of reading or listening The Book of Mormon every day.  For the last six months I have been reading or listening to The Book of Mormon for least 15 minutes every day. 

I don't know if I can say too much about what is does for me. It has been an anchor to me when many others had slipped away. It roots me to Jesus Christ who is my only hope. It has chided me in many ways. It has been a way for me to know that I have been having revelation. 

I love The Book of Mormon. It verifies the truth of the Bible. I know that as I live by its teachings, I will overcome the world through my Savior Jesus. 


Here is Melanie's podcast on the Book of Mormon.
