Abstract
This is a series of articles intended for Relief Society course study. It discusses the importance of the Book of Mormon, its coming forth (i.e., the translation, the witnesses, the publication, Joseph Smith), brief overview of its contents, and explains the text from 1 Nephi 1 through Alma 58. Each article features several questions that are helpful in synthesizing and applying the Book of Mormon to daily life.

BOOK OF MORMON STUDIES1
In the study of the last five chapters of the Book of Mosiah one is impressed with the great need of each man having his own testimony as to the truth of the Gospel. God is no respecter of persons; the son of the king or High Priest must walk the same road to righteousness that is pursued by the humblest peasant. As it was before Christ’s advent on earth so is it to-day. Man stands or falls as a result of his own actions.
Read and study these chapters, for their truths are helpful in the pursuit of daily happiness.
