Reading the Book of Mormon with a purpose

I mean, there is always a purpose to reading the Book of Mormon.  To know that it is true.  Moroni, the last Book of Mormon prophet, left a promise at the end of the Book of Mormon, that when you read the Book of Mormon, with the intent to know that it is true, and then pray to Heavenly Father, He "will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost."

I have read the Book of Mormon numerous times.  Each time I read it, I am at a different point in life and so I see and understand different things.  The Book of Mormon meant one thing to me as a missionary, and another thing to me as a mother, for example.  Recently I started reading the Book of Mormon with a different focus or theme so that I see even more than I have seen before.

In mentioning that to another tweeter, she mentioned a way that she is reading the Book of Mormon, and I really liked it.  But now I am about four Books of Mormon out, and I don't want to forget the ideas, so I figured this is the perfect place to start a list of ideas of ways that I want to read through the Book of Mormon. 

* Reading through three times
* All references to the Temple
* Keeping track of who is speaking
* The names of Jesus Christ
* The references to us

I am going to keep adding to this list as I think of or see new ideas.  If anyone has ideas that they have done or seen, please share in the comments!
