What is The Book of Mormon?




   The Book of Mormon is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is another way that we can all learn about the Savior and, by that learning, see how to become more like Him.  It is important because the more we learn about Jesus Christ, the more we can see what truly leads to happiness.  That is why we need to read scripture "liken[ing] all scripture unto us" (1 Nephi 19:23).  That way we follow Jesus Christ's example toward peace, comfort, and happiness.
  Reading the scriptures is a way we can remember Jesus Christ always.  When we turn away from the troubles and chaos of the world we must turn all the way toward Christ or else we will just be turning away to nothing, and our minds will only be filled with what we just left - and that will only lead back into trouble.  When we turn to Christ we are turning away from trouble permanently because we have His light, and joy to fill our minds and take the place of all the gunk in the world.
  The Book of Mormon is important because if it is true, then Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, Joseph Smith is his revelator and prophet in these last days, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's kingdom once again established on the earth.  Our invitation to everyone is to please read in the book and pray about it, because God will answer your prayer of faith, and you can know for yourself that this is true!
