In these chapters, Mormon wants us as his readers to ponder and appreciate the greatest moments in the life of Helaman, the son of Alma. As you think about what you know about Helaman and as you read Alma 55–57, think of the following:
1. What would you count as the greatest moments in Helaman’s life? What do you find most impressive about his character and how he rose to meet truly amazing challenges?
2. What prepared Helaman to righteously and successfully meet those challenging opportunities and responsibilities?
3. In what ways did Helaman carry forward the teachings and objectives of his father Alma the Younger and also his grandfather Alma the Elder?
4. In what ways does the life of Helaman inspire you? What lessons for life do you learn from him? How do his great moments encourage you personally and spiritually?
