The One Year Book of Mormon

Okay, just to get the writing back in black, here’s a business I won’t do: We went to a large Christian bookstore the other day, and it was neat. It was exactly like any Deseret Book in Utah, except for one thing: (doubly embedded colons, so pay attention), Mormons don’t use a variety of brands of scripture. I’m not talking a lot of translations, just more than one brand would sometimes be nice. Over the past few years, secondary brands have begun to appear, with illustrations and economies of scale in production, but not en masse yet.  Yet while walking through this store and seeing a variety of Biblical delivery methods–again, not translations, I mean all the Franklin-planner-looking Bibles, all the mp3 Bibles, etc.; I couldn’t help but wonder when someone will produce a Book of Mormon divided into 365 consumable chunks.  Those publishing a Bible which divides the 1189 chapters of the Bible (or 260 NT chapters) by 365 days have proven successful and ubiquitous, and it is inevitable before someone strikes it rich by doing the same with The Book of Mormon.  So, someone who reads this, do it, send me a copy, and good luck.

Speaking of which, let me plug this simple scripture calculator.  Whatever book of scripture you’re reading, you just punch in where you’re at and where you want to be by which date, and it outputs a calendar for you.
