Cycle of Hope

116 Episode – Cycle of Hope

Imagine it’s your first time ever reading the Book or Mormon. Nephi begins his story about his family. You have no idea that Nephi will eventually flee for his life from his brothers. Why did Nephi write it that way? Why not just tell us at the beginning that his brothers were going to be like that?
