Judges

I just finished my first complete reading of the biblical book of Judges. And my thoughts on the book? It is not something that I would like to read again. I understand that it is a book of scripture and that there are things to be learned from it, but it is also full of descriptions of horrible, abominable acts and it was really hard for me to read a lot of it. Nearly every time I finished a chapter I was disgusted and saddened that such horrible things happened, let alone that they had to be recorded. It makes me even more grateful for Mormon's discretion in the Book of Mormon - saying that there were horrible things going on in his society, but that he was not going to go into detail about them because they were so terrible.
