The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ Hardcover – October 24, 2006

Life-changing book!!!

It’s what I ordered. I love learning about the different forms of Christianity and Catholicism.

I don’t understand why people complain about the Lord speaking with us on a continual…Joan of Arc asked the same thing…why are you complaining because I speak to God and He speaks to me …isn’t that the whole purpose of prayer…answers to prayers= the R word…revelation. Islam also teaches that the Quran ( recommended study too ) is Gods final word and Muhammad His last prophet and many Christian’s teach this same stuff about the Bible which I also love. It’s not up to any of us to put God in a box. As for me and my house we will gladly listen to the Lord yesterday today and tomorrow wherever the truth leads. And whenever and however He sees fit to give it to us. This has been always His pattern and He doesn’t change. This is how we can have faith in Him bc He is the same always. Gandhi said the truth is the truth even if you are a minority of one. The Book of Mormon, that cost some of the best lives of the nineteenth century, deserves your attention. Only if one is unafraid of truth can one find it.

Having spent two years in Australia as a missionary seeking to teach people about this book and having studied it carefully for over thirty years, I offer the following:Argument over the Book of Mormon's content, meaning, or authenticity is ultimately not going anywhere. Such arguments have been going on regarding the Bible for thousands of years. To this day half of the Bible (the New Testament) is disregarded as an unauthorized addition by Jews who reverence the Torah. See, Deut 4:2.The Book of Mormon from its title page purports to be one thing--Another Testament of Jesus Christ. New scripture from a God who is following the same pattern He has followed for generations; new scripture to complement the old. The Book of Mormon is for persons who wonder why the Bible stopped--who wonder where the prophets have gone. For a good long time the world wasn't ready to have a prophet. In the 1830's, in a country with unlimited possibility and unprecedented religious freedom, God again revealed Himself to a prophet. I find it curious that people who revere prophets such as Moses, Abraham, Daniel, the Apostle Paul and others will not test claims of a modern prophet. I wonder if Isaiah had trouble distributing his book--it demands a close reading, was doctrinally controversial and probably disturbed the governing orthodoxy. But that is the way God works, He allows us to decide whether to read the book.The Book of Mormon is the means given by God to test the veracity of the man who brought it forth--Joseph Smith. It is a test--no more no less. The Book of Mormon itself at Moroni Chapter 10 (the last chapter of the entire work) at verses 3-5 is instructive: "Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts. And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."So, instead of engaging in argument, test the Book. Read it and ask God whether it is true. I have. It is.

I'm reviewing the ebook, not the content.The format of this book on the kindle is cumbersome. It starts with the table of contents and then as it presents the verses each verse is headed by the chapter and verse. This format is followed in each chapter. It's not at all pleasing to look at much less read.I was looking for the Book of Mormon in more of a book format. I have this version in print and it's closer to book format than the basic Book of Mormon. Unfortunately, you would never know that based on the Kindle format.For the price of $3, it was very disappointing.I also purchased The Book of Mormon: 1830 Original Edition (LDS) (Kindle Preferred Active Table of Content Edition) for $0.99 and this was exactly what I was looking for. It is presented in book format with no verse numbers and no chapter headings.Off the topic, if you are looking for the full Standard Works you can use this direct link [...] to get the download that will work for the kindle.

I love this book so much! It is a perfect study companion to the Holy Bible and clarifies many important truths and doctrines that have been lost over time about the perfect Gospel established by Jesus Christ in the Old World. Its messages of faith, hope, repentance, and salvation are exactly what I needed to hear, and I have found the answers to many questions of the soul while reading it. I felt the same spirit of holy scripture while reading it as I did while reading the New Testament.

This is The Book of Mormon. The book has a nice feel and there are quite a few pages in it. Best introduction to the LDS and their beliefs.

Prophets wrote this book. A guy with a PHD from Harvard couldn’t write this. It’s truly amazing and a blessing.
