Ever since they opened up Facebook to LDS missionaries, all sorts of online events have been posted and shared to challenge others to share their beliefs. And this is another one that I was invited to participate in and thought, this would be really fun. The challenge was to post a picture like shown in the given example and write a short explanation of how I discovered the Book of Mormon.
Or, in my case, how the Book of Mormon discovered me.
When I was in high school, I decided to take on the challenge of comparing and contrasting different religious beliefs, just for fun (theology has always fascinated me). In this effort, I called up my best friend, who happens to be a Latter-day Saint, and asked him questions about Mormonism. What resulted was an extended and accepted invitation to church. The next day at school, he gave me a copy of the Book of Mormon.
I haven't been able to put it down since.
And nearly two and a half years later, that Book of Mormon is filled with notes, talks, and pieces of paper marking my favorite passages.
Go ahead. Give it a try, and read it for yourself. :)
