This 81st Post accompanies Gospel Doctrine lesson 41, "I Have Made Thee This Day ... an Iron Pillar".
This lesson includes material from Jeremiah 1-2, Jeremiah 15, Jeremiah 20, Jeremiah 26, and Jeremiah 36-38.
See my collection of Chiasms in Jeremiah. This collection is used for Posts 81 and 83.
Lamentations is not covered in a Gospel Doctrine lesson, but is traditionally attributed to Jeremiah, although experts today doubt he wrote the book. See my collection of Chiasms in Lamentations.
"It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that. It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too. But there is something more. There is a power in the book which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path . . . and nowhere is that more true than it is of the Book of Mormon. When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance" (Ezra Taft Benson, October 1986 General Conference).
