Why do we have the Book of Mormon? Who was it written for? Who wrote the title page? Before you begin reading, have each person write down briefly the answer to these questions. As you read, look for at least 3 purposes for the Book of Mormon.
- That they [Nephites and Lamanites] might not be destroyed.
- To the convincing of the Jew and gentile that Jesus is the Christ.
- To show unto the remnant of the house of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers.
- That they [the remnant of the house of Israel] may know the covenants of the Lord that they are not cast off forever.
After reading, discuss the purpose of the Book of Mormon. As you read, did family members find any purposes that they didn't write down?
