Doubles

By S. M. Smith

Heavenly Father taught some principles in Bible stories that he also taught in similar Book of Mormon stories. Read each question below and see if you know whom each story is about. Check your answers by reading the scripture references. If you need more help, look at the chapter heading for each scripture reference. On your own or during a family home evening lesson, determine the principles you can learn from each of these “doubles” and why those principles are important.
