Observations: The Book of Mormon
Book of Mormon principles that have changed my life.
This book is not a commentary, nor has it been my objective to explain in these pages the "meaning" of Book of Mormon verses. Rather, it contains chapter by chapter truths that I have gleaned as I have read the Book of Mormon and that have affected me literally eternally. Since 1960, the Book of Mormon has been an integral part of my life. I have read it cover-to-cover on the average of more than once a year since then and continue to do so. My impressions included in this book come from extensive notes that I have made in margins of my Book of Mormon copies as I read it over these many years.
Moses said, "It was given unto as many as called upon God to write by the spirit of inspiration." (Moses 6:5) It has been my desire and prayer that that gift would be mine as I wrote these observations.

About the author
Steve Dunn Hanson
31 books10 followers Steve Dunn Hanson grew up in a small Idaho farm town and a ragged neighborhood in St. Louis. He and his wife, Joyce, raised their family in Orange County, California, and they currently live on a scenic hill in northeast Washington.
Steve graduated from BYU in economics and received an MA degree in political behavior from Arizona State. He served a Church mission as a young man to Australia and with his wife many years later to Romania. Steve has been a stake president and member of a temple presidency in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He is a landscape photographer, blogger, and the author of several published works including articles, poetry, hymns, novels, and self-help books. He and his wife are the parents of eight children, 28 grandchildren, and great grandchildren keep coming.
He has a hopper full of "reality" including having served for 15 years as a volunteer jail chaplain and flew with a former major U.S. presidential candidate in his small plane when an engine conked out. All of this is fodder for his writings.
You can find his blogs and poetry on his website: stevedunnhanson.com
His published books include:
The Mission
Joy, the Other Side of Sorrow
10 Principles of Love—To Help You Parent Your Adult Children

These observations are so insightful and lead to further contemplation and understanding of this sacred text. I read the observations as I was reading the Book of Mormon chapter by chapter and gained much from this method. I look forward to repeating this process the next time through. This is not a commentary on the actual text but thoughts and insights generated by these scriptures.
