“I Have Somewhat to Say Concerning the Restoration”

"When we hear the term restoration we typically think of the latter-day return of the Church and the revelation of the gospel in its fullness. Book of Mormon prophets, however, use this term in a rather different sense. They teach that every individual will receive a temporal as well as a spiritual restoration, good for good, evil for evil." (Richard O. Cowan, Alma, TheTestimony of the Word, p. 184 as taken from Latter-day Commentary on the Book of Mormon compiled by K. Douglas Bassett, p. 343)
