Many people today are in to sharing books, insights, and life lessons learned. I wanted to take a few minutes each week to share a book that has inspired me to be a better person, taught me how to be eternally happy, has provided answers to life's biggest questions, and has taught me more about Jesus Christ then any other book. This book is The Book of Mormon.
The Book of Mormon another testament of Jesus Christ was written by prophets of old as was the Bible. These ancient prophets were men called of God, who had the priesthood or the authority to act in the name of Jesus Christ, they received revelation or direction from God, and stood as special witnesses of Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon spans the time from 600 B.C. to 421 A.D. Although The Book of Mormon begins in Jerusalem, the most part was written in the ancient Americas. Each page testifies of Jesus Christ and provides a deeper yet clearer understanding concerning the doctrines of salvation. The Book of Mormon is simply written in a way that young children can know of it's truthfulness and gain their own testimony of it.
The Book of Mormon was translated by the power of God by the prophet, Joseph Smith in the year 1823. Concerning this record the Prophet Joseph Smith said: “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.” The Book of Mormon has taught me the purpose of life, what the Lord expects of me, and helps me know the things that I must do to become more like my Savior Jesus Christ.
