"This is what we must engrain in our very souls: The Book of Mormon is the
tool that will retain converts better than any other thing. If we root the
people to our sociality, or friendliness, or love, we root them to us instead of
to Christ." — Ed J. Pinegar,

"When you teach with power, you teach the mind and the will of God. You
fulfill D&C 68:4. You
speak by the Spirit, and the Spirit speaks the word of Christ, which is the mind
and the will of God. Do you remember what was happening about the time of Alma 17:2-3? Alma had gone
one way and the sons of Mosiah had gone another way, and they met up again as
the sons of Mosiah were traveling toward the land of Zarahemla. Alma must have
said something like, 'Oh Ammon, Omner, Himni, and Aaron, it's so good to see
you,' and no doubt they exchanged embraces and hugs. Then Alma said that what
added to his joy was that his friends had 'waxed strong in the knowledge of the
truth' and 'they were men of sound understanding.' Why? Because 'they had
searched the scriptures diligently, that they might know the word of God.' But
this was not all. They'd also 'given themselves to much prayer and fasting,' so
that when they spoke, they spoke by revelation and by prophecy, 'with the power
and authority of God.'" - Ed J. Pinegar, "Especially for Missionaries,
4 vols." [American Fork, Ut.: Covenant Communications, 1997], Vol. 3
