If you can’t bring yourself to read the entire Bible (all 783,137 words of it), you can cheat just a bit by at least reading the book of Psalms. Joseph Fielding McConkie said “. . .the book of Psalms is easily the most comprehensive book in the Bible. Martin Luther called it the ‘little Bible’ and indeed it is a library within a library, or a Bible within a Bible.” It contains all of the themes contained within the rest of the Bible in just 42,074 words!
