In 2008 General Conference talk President Hinckley made a promise as to what will happen if we read the Book of Mormon one more time...no matter how many times you have previously read it.
That still holds true. Read the entire talk.... here
(A couple of paragraphs to read and think about from his talk. Prophets and their promises just never fail. Never!)
"We studied the Book of Mormon in Sunday School this past year. Nonetheless I offer a challenge to members of the Church throughout the world and to our friends everywhere to read or reread the Book of Mormon. If you will read a bit more than one and one-half chapters a day, you will be able to finish the book before the end of this year. Very near the end of its 239 chapters, you will find a challenge issued by the prophet Moroni as he completed his record nearly 16 centuries ago.

"Said he:
'And I exhort you to remember these things; for the time speedily cometh that ye shall know that I lie not, for ye shall see me at the bar of God; and the Lord God will say unto you: Did I not declare my words unto you, which were written by this man, like as one crying from the dead, yea, even as one speaking out of the dust? …
'And God shall show unto you, that that which I have written is true' (Moro. 10:27, 29).
"Without reservation I promise you that if each of you will observe this simple program, regardless of how many times you previously may have read the Book of Mormon, there will come into your lives and into your homes an added measure of the Spirit of the Lord, a strengthened resolution to walk in obedience to His commandments, and a stronger testimony of the living reality of the Son of God."
--by President Hinckley
(I really want these promises to come into my life!! Just a nice relaxing read and they will all arrive. Love knowing that they will come about!!)
