In one sense the Book of Life is the total of a person’s thoughts and actions—the record of his life. However, the scriptures also indicate that a heavenly record is kept of the faithful, including their names and accounts of their righteous deeds.

The Lord will blot sinners out of his book, Ex. 32: 33. He that overcomes will not be blotted out of the book of life, Rev. 3: 5. Another book was opened, which is the book of life, Rev. 20: 12 (D&C 128: 6-7). The names of the righteous shall be written in the book of life, Alma 5: 58. Your prayers are recorded in the book of the names of the sanctified, D&C 88: 2.
