Topic #31: Name a book you started reading but never finished. Why did you stop? What would it take for you to finish it?
I had to ask for `The Book of Mormon` from two elder but young WHITE brothers, who offered kindly their assistance to Dad and me in cleaning up the street of dried leaves.
I gave up reading the entire book because there were too many questions that go unanswered, such as “What is a Nephi? Are those really the Nephilims, the giant fallen angels of abomination so long ago?”
In addition, the language has some Old English in it, such as `Thou`, `Shalt`, `Ye`, `Thine`, `Art`, etc. Further, the print is TOO small to read. I get easily distracted if the reading material in not engaging enough to tell a nice story with at least a happy ending.
I would try to finish it if there was at least a clue to how the world and everything was created and if there would be an end to creation. If there is ABSOLUTE truth in human versions of reading `The Book of Mormon`, then I would `read between the lines` and figure out what the passages are trying to tell all of us.
