When he preached his powerful sermon to the people of Zarahemla, Alma the Younger spoke with one vital objective: to reinvigorate the faith of a people whose belief was fading. Now, generations after Alma's exhortation, followers of Christ can be likewise galvanized by looking to Alma's words to motivate personal introspection. Is my conversion complete? Have I accepted the invitation to repent? Have I been spiritually born of God?
In Alma 5, readers are prompted to respond to fifty lifechanging rhetorical questions from this single inspiring chapter of scripture. With topics ranging from repentance to conversion to personal revelation, look to Alma's greatest speech to remember all that you have known and felt, and embrace your potential to become the person God wants you to become.
This book is built around Alma 5 in The Book of Mormon and the fifty questions he asks the people of Zarahemla in the chapter. The questions were for introspection during that time period but can also be used for us in these days to motivate us to become more righteous and change our heart toward Christ. The authors discuss subjects such as repentance, conversion, and personal revelation. I thought it was interesting and insightful how they expanded on all the ideas that Alma presented. This is a good resource for guidance into having a mighty change of heart and becoming closer to Christ. 4.5 stars
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy from Covenant Communications. All opinions are my own.
This was a really interesting book that took us through the questions in Alma 5. I really liked how the authors used so many quote from church leaders and quoted scriptures. I liked the connections they made. I also liked that they divided the questions into different categories and that we were able to see how they all connect. I thought the authors did a great job at encouraging us to reflect of Alma’s questions and to decide where we are on our journey.
I received a complimentary book from publishers, publicists, and or authors. A review was not required and all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.
I really wanted to love this book. I am not sure why, but I never connected with its messages. I felt like I struggled to follow where it was taking me, except just as a commentary of Alma 5, and maybe that is the only message, but if that is the case I think I’d be a miss. I like that it is a short, and I may give it another shot next year.
