Resource & Activity Book

The Tree of Life

By: Laurie Bonnell Stephens, Melissa Johns, Bryan Jensen, Margie Lee, Eric Fenton and Sonja Jorgenson Parent and Teacher Guide

The purpose of this Resource & Activity Book is to help individuals, families, and groups alike learn to use the scriptures in conjunction with the Living Scriptures Complete Learning System DVDs of The Animated Stories of the Book of Mormon™. The coloring pages, games, activities, scriptural references, and questions for each particular story are contained in separate sections of this book to help make complete study of the individual DVDs easier.

Scriptural Reference Sections. The Scriptural Reference sections contain a comprehensive, alphabetical listing of the scriptural topics and principles that are found in each of the animated stories. After each topic is listed, the scriptural reference or references can be found.

References preceded with a “see” do not completely state all of the information indicated. They do, however, relate to that topic and are good sources for that entry.

References with a “+” sign indicate that many of the scriptures immediately following that reference also go along with that particular topic or principle.

Points to Ponder. There are no answers indicated for Points to Ponder in the Answer Key. We have included these questions for the sole purpose of encouraging both children and adults to think and study more about these topics.

Questions. Answers to some of the questions are not found within the DVDs. These are “expert questions,” in most cases, and were designed so children, together with their parent, teacher, or caregiver, will turn to the scriptures to ﬁnd the answers. The references where each story can be found is indicated at the bottom of each page.

Living Scriptures hopes that this Resource & Activity Book will make your Animated Stories from the Book of Mormon DVDs become even more valuable as you study the scriptures and learn more about our Savior, Jesus Christ, and His prophets on the earth.

“For he that diligently seeketh shall ﬁnd; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to come; wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round.” 1 Nephi 10:19
