This isn't, of course, the first time I've touched on this idea, but I think one of the main reasons why reading the Book of Mormon strengthens one's testimony of the Gospel and brings him/her closer to the presence of God, at least for me, is that the thoughtful and truth-seeking reader will become increasingly aware, with each verse, of the gulf of reason inherent in the idea that the pages of the Book of Mormon - all 531 pages - were written for a self-serving purpose. It simply does not make sense why anyone would write it other than what it claims to be, and I believe this realization that is gained as one reads the book is one of the main sources of the power of conversion of the Book of Mormon.
