Alma 54 – 55 I know that Moroni decided to not exchange prisoners because of how Ammoron pursued in perpetuation add true simmering he knew to be false but I also think that the spark of the idea for how to free the Nephite prisoners have him the courage to pursue that bold course of…

Alma 53 It seems to be a consistent trait among these righteous leaders that they address larger and more encompassing issues than simply the immediate or obvious ones. Moroni could have expended all his thought on war but he took the time to address famine among the people as well. Helaman could have considered only…

Alma 52 A well planned and well executed strategy by Moroni saved the lives of many both of his own men and of Lamanites by making the battle short and decisive.

Alma 51 It is easy to think after the description of Moroni that he made no mistakes but I think he made two mistakes that were exposed in this chapter. First, he choose to put too much reliance on the defences of his first line of cities. That they were the most strongly defended makes…

Moroni demonstrates that it is possible to learn from the previous war in order to prepare for the coming war. We are told how Moroni upgraded the…

Alma 46 Somehow I had always looked at Amalickiah and his followers as being like Amlici and his followers. I realize now that the two were fundamentally different. Amlici sought out followers end pursued them to make him their king. Amalickiah was part of a faction that was rebelling against the power of the church…

Alma 45 I have had experiences where the spirit of prophecy was with me in the same way that out muddy have been with Alma when he saw the future of the Nephites so clearly. The difference is that I wasn’t familiar enough or in-tune enough to get the kind of clear details that Alma…

Alma 43 – 44 I feel confident that Moroni became the leader of the armies because of his ideas for how to strengthen them and protect their lives in battle.

Alma 40 – 42 What caused Alma to inquire diligently about the resurrection and the period of time between death and resurrection? It was because of an incorrect understanding of the plan of salvation that Corianton choose to pursue sin. There is no way to know if he adopted that incorrect understanding to justify his…
