"The Book of Mormon is a book with a promise. Although its history is compelling by itself, it is a book of scriptural significance, comparable to the Bible, and should be received and read under the influence of the Holy Ghost."
It is a book with a purpose, which is to convince each person that Jesus is the Christ, the eternal God. It is a book that "teaches the great plan of happiness" in profound yet understandable terms it teaches the purpose of life, from whence mortals came and what happens to them when they die.
"We learn of faith in Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice, of repentance, of the importance of baptism by immersion and the gift and power of the Holy Ghost.
It testifies that Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world. Book of Mormon prophets have borne solemn witness that Jesus is the creator of the Earth, the redeemer of mankind and the only begotten of the Father. The book is evidence that Joseph Smith was a prophet, chosen by the hand of the Lord to restore his ancient church to Earth.
"Ever since Samuel Smith set out to preach the gospel with a few first-edition copies, the Book of Mormon has blessed the lives of millions around the world."
