Tragic Consequences

In reading the Relief Society lesson for next week, I came across this quote by President Hinckley about The Book of Mormon.
  "I know of no other writing that sets forth with such clarity the tragic consequences to societies that follow courses contrary to the commandments of God." -- President Gordon B. Hinckley, Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Gordon B.  Hinckley, chapter 16, The Power of the Book of Mormon
President Hinckley hit the nail on the head with this quote.  The Book of Mormon minces no words when it comes to detailing the consequences of those who choose lifestyles contrary to God's commandments.  For those of you who have not read The Book of Mormon, here's a spoiler alert -- the consequences are not pretty.  They are devastatingly tragic.  Read the book and see for yourself.

That's my two cents.
