hehehe, np, I had to go look it up because I read what you said and thought, "hmmm, neither this book nor the BOM is the Fulness of the gospel but both contain it and teach it really clearly."
Back to the point of your initial post...
Your not the only one. I was born and raised in the church, my father serving as a bishop multiple times. I was a leader in seminary and an excellent missionary in many respects. I taught the missionary discussions countless times. With all my study and training I did not learn what the fulness of the gospel was until this book laid it out. I am sure that some have learned it from the scriptures or some other source. But I didn't.
I was also pleasantly shocked when I read Moroni's statement about the book of Mormon like I was reading it for the first time. I had read it many times before and heard it in seminary, church and other classes but I never realized what it was really saying.
I also really like the title of this chapter and how it points out that the value of the Book of Mormon was not in the gold on which it was written, the great value was in the words and concepts which were on the gold.
