“Journey to the Tower,” New Era, Nov. 1982, 46
Journey to the Tower
King Benjamin’s final address was so inspired that for over 2,000 years it has remained a trustworthy guide for our lives. Here is your chance to travel back to Benjamin’s day and hear his famous speech.
Read the first real-life situation on the road to Tower City (where King Benjamin spoke to his people from the tower), and then select from the road signs the scripture that best applies to that situation. Check the answer list to see if your choice was correct. If it was, go immediately to the next situation. If it was incorrect turn to the correct scripture in Mosiah and read it. Continue from situation to situation until you arrive at Tower City. Feel free to use your Book of Mormon as a road map on the journey.
