Digging Deeper: Understanding and Applying Life-Changing Doctrines from the Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is full of powerful teachings, but sometimes it feels challenging to find the practical applications that give those teachings added significance. The prophet Nephi rejoiced both in preaching doctrine and also in likening the scriptures to himself. Author Robert I. Eaton blends shrewd scriptural analysis with compelling personal stories to demonstrate how we all can make sure the principles in the Book of Mormon function as much more than abstract concepts. Delving deeply into both familiar and unsung stories, this highly accessible volume is sure to help readers get doctrines not only into their heads but into their hearts and lives.

A graduate of BYU and Stanford Law School, he has also worked as a research assistant for F.A.R.M.S., an attorney, and a corporate vice president.
