Book of Mormon

A book of Holy Scripture and another Testament of Jesus Christ. A companion volume to the Holy Bible. Recounts the spiritual journey of God's people who went to the Americas. Contains the everlasting and full Gospel of Jesus Christ. Recounts Jesus Christ's visit to the Americas after His resurrection.

One of the canonical books of Scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Contains a promise that all who study it and ask in prayer may know of its truth. The pure Word of God.
The Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on earth, and we can get nearer to God by applying its precepts than by any other book.

book soldier

Origin probably military. A book soldier is a person caught up in details and procedures, but lacking in experience and insight. Typically used disparagingly, a book soldier typically is a bureaucrat or official of small import enforcing petty rules that the objects of his/her decision see as virtually meaningless. As a result of, or in compensation for, this focus on minute details, the book soldier secures his or her reputation by being, or described as being, head-smart not street-smart, or educated fool, or drone, lacking empathy and grace.
"Second Lieutenant Johnson" was the classic book soldier: He knew ROTC protocol but nothing about actual warfare, or how to handle a platoon for that matter. If he can't find it in the manual, he freaks out. That's why Sarge calls the shots."

"Jason is a sweet person in real life but at work, in Human Resources, he is a total book soldier. He told me once that one of the staff missed making Employee of the Month because of a two-minute discrepancy between the time clock and the sign-in sheet. I guess in a job like that, it pays to be anal, but fortunately that's not the Jason I usually see."
