Not only was he sinking financially, but he was slipping into a depression from which he would have never returned. He could not find any purpose in life, despite the sincere efforts to follow the life that would make him popular with his culture.<BR/><BR/>And then he picked up the <I>Book of Mormon</I> with trembling hands and uttered a deep prayer for guidance. He spent the next couple days kneeling by his bedside devouring the words of the prophets in the <I>Book of Mormon</I>. He was truly nurtured spiritual as the comforting Spirit of the Holy Ghost was made manifest in that room.<BR/><BR/>He was given the courage to make a rather difficult sacrifice, himself, but which sacrifice enabled him to shed the grasps of misery, to enter into a life of financial self-sufficiency, and -- most importantly -- to find purpose in a life he thought could hold none.<BR/><BR/>To this day, he clings to and relies solely upon that Spirit brought forth by the <I>Book of Mormon</I> and the testimony it bears of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.chednerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963974112297032614noreply@blogger.com
