Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon: New Urdu Book of Mormon is out! Jan, 9, 2008.

Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon

(One drop at a time.) My journal entries about offering copies of the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and other LDS church books, mainly to immigrants in their native language, mainly in Indianapolis, Indiana. With 106 translations, the Book of Mormon (along with the Bible) is a good "Rosetta Stone" for learning English or other languages, in addition to being a missionary tool.

My goals in keeping this blog/journal are: to encourage others to offer people copies of the Book of Mormon and the Bible, to illustrate the incredible number of recent immigrants who are eager for bilingual material, to illustrate the ease of encountering them and offering them material, and to make known the wonderful deeds of the Lord (Ps 105:1, Isa 12:4) in arranging many of these encounters. I realize that the concept of offering foreign language books to strangers is just plain weird to many people, so here are some hints if you are intrigued by this and wish to try it. Respectful comments and constructive criticism are invited.

The goal of the book placement effort is to provide, in a friendly non-threatening way, gospel material to someone who is willing to receive it in their native language and English.

To the recipients of these books who read this: I thank you again for allowing me to be of service to you. I encourage you to read the material, and pray to God that He confirm the truth of it to you. The Bible and the Book of Mormon are both the Word of God. Living according to their teachings brings happiness.

New Urdu Book of Mormon is out! Jan, 9, 2008.

01/09/2008. I just received the new Urdu Book of Mormon. This is the new full-translation, not "selections of."

It is the new standard size, and includes the usual pictures, and is printed in double columns.

It also has the border printed around every page, which I think is a custom in that part of the world to indicate that it is a holy book.

There are book headings and chapter headings, but no footnotes.

It's copyrighted 2007, and printed 8/2007.

Softcover catalog #, 35607-434.
Hardcover catalog #, 35606-434.

It's not on the ldscatalog.com web site yet, but you can order it by calling 1-801-240-3800.
