I really like the section entitled "A Brief Explanation About the Book of Mormon". I know it's not part of the inspired text, but I like the concise and clear explanation about how it all fits together.
The quote I picked from this is simply the very first statement. I just really thought about that when I reading and it was confirmed to me through the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon is indeed a sacred record. There is so much to learn from within this book, and I'm glad I have the opportunity and blessing to have it in my life. I haven't always been as diligent in my studies as I should have been, but I do know that it is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet, called by God, to restore His church. I know we have a prophet today to lead and guide us, and I believe in ongoing revelation and prophecy. It makes sense to me that in an ever-changing world, we would get continued guidance and help from our loving Father in Heaven. Most of all, I'm very grateful for a Savior. I am so far from perfect, the gap is so wide between me and the person that I wish I was, and it is only through the Atonement that I can ever hope to narrow that gap.
