Kim, I’m dismayed by this post, especially in light of some of your other posts about the importance of simple obedience to God. You say the Prophet asked you to do it, yet you also say you couln’t think of a reason for you to do it. Why wasn’t the fact that the Prophet asked you to do it a reason for doing it?

very valid points Kim. I will check out the book store when I am out your way and see if I can find that readers edition as well.

Don’t get me wrong. If you want to take part in the challenge, go right ahead. I am not saying you shouldn’t do it.

I think that if anyone can get through Second Nephi in one sitting, without fall asleep, they are entitle to a gold star on their temple recommend.

That's just me, so Mr. Hinckley if you're reading this - no pressure, but maybe just something to think about...

Nephi II is some tough slogging...

It’s only tough slogging if you are just reading it. It’s filled with a whole slew of doctrine. There is no way I could just whip through that book in 1-2 weeks. It wouldn’t do it justice.

"It's only tough slogging if you are just reading it."

True enough, though I maintain that many members barely even touch the surface meanings of what they're reading.

So I propose a new challenge:
Let every member transcribe into modern English First Nephi by Jan 2006.

In February, Kim can tell us where we all went wrong. ;)

" many members barely even touch the surface meanings of what they're reading"

No argument there, though I would add that many members likely don't read it at all.

"Let every member transcribe into modern English First Nephi by Jan 2006."

Crap. I wish I saved my notes from the last time I wrote the entire Book of Mormon in my own words..
