This book is a review, verse-by-verse, of the doctrines in the Book of Mormon. Rather than just an intellectual consideration of those doctrines, the author gets our hearts involved by discussing how the principles apply to real-time life. The Tree of Life was a common ancient motif. One of the prophets whose writings are contained in the Book of Mormon compared the word of God to a seed. Invoking the Tree of Life imagery, this prophet then taught a fundamental lesson: when we plant the word in our hearts, and nourish this seed as all good seeds require, the seed can grow within us to become a Tree of Life. By applying the doctrines in the Book of Mormon we are enabled to pluck the lush, delicious fruit available only on the Tree of Life. Eating the fruit can change our lives - for the better, and to our eternal good.
