The Prophet has asked us to read the entire Book of Mormon before the end of this year (read this). I started a bit late so I'm a little behind the schedule, but I've read to 2 Nephi 9 and it's going well. I can honestly say that I'm enjoying it as well as learning from it. I encourage you all, dear readers, to do the same. I especially implore my beloved family members; I promise you can make time if you try. You too Stephen; you could have family scripture study with Vincent! Teach him to say "remember, remember" and "repent" as well as "hello" and "who's a pretty boy then".
The Isaiah chapters in 2 Nephi always present a challenge, but church leaders have told us that these are some of the most important passages of scripture for our times, and it is imperative that we study and understand these prophesies. While researching my recent sunday school lessons on the Second Coming, I found an article written by Bruce R. McConkie called "Ten Keys to Understanding Isaiah". I promise you will find this helpful.

That is a very helpful article! I especially liked the bit about the "habit born of slovenly study and a limited perspective." :D And keys 6, 7 & 8 are particularly close to my heart.
Frankly, I've never had much of a problem with Isaiah but that might be because I relate to it as though it were poetry.
