Transcript:
You may have heard of the Book of Mormon, but you might be surprised what it’s actually about.

On the surface, it’s a 1,000 year account of a great civilization. But at heart, it’s about individuals striving to learn of and follow Jesus Christ.

It begins in Jerusalem around 600 BC when a prophet was warned by God to flee the impending destruction of the city.

He and his family are guided across the ocean to what is now the Americas.

Their lives can inspire you to have faith in Jesus Christ.

In fact, the crowning event of the book is the visit of Jesus Christ to the people in the Americas after His Resurrection in Jerusalem.

Even though it was written over 1600 years ago, the Book of Mormon can help you with the challenges you face today.

Most of all, you can grow closer to our Savior Jesus Christ and feel His love for you.

This book changed my life. Reading it and coming to know of its truthfulness helped set me on a path that made my life immeasurably better. It brings peace and comfort and increases faith in Jesus Christ. I love it.

As christians our faith is constantly being tested. But no matter what we continue to trust in Jesus. Even though it may be difficult and we don’t understand why God is testing us his purpose is to prove that our faith is real. Since covid I fell on a terrible hardship. I lost my job for declining the vaccine. I declined due to my health conditions. I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I’m now waitressing but not making nearly enough to get by. I’m a single mom, my husband died suddenly years ago. I’m all alone. My children are autistic and non verbal, I’m overwhelmed. I recently started homeschooling them because they were having so many issues in school including bullying. Please pray for me. I’m struggling to pay rent, struggling to buying groceries, struggling to afford the tools I need to homeschool my sons. I WANT TO GIVE UP! But I TRUST in you JESUS. Even as I struggle providing for my children. I will keep faith in God. Faith over fear. Lord hear my prayers. I don’t understand why I’m going through this hardship for so long but I trust you LORD!

LOVE The Book of Mormon. It points us to Jesus Christ. No film or films can ever take the place of actually reading, studying its pages.

[corwinmorton]

Yes I know what the Book of Mormon is I've read it back in the 70s. And I read it whenever I need to have some comfort. I also have the Doctrine and Covenants oh, and the pearl of great price, and a few other pieces of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

[cjmadsen]

I love this book. It has brought me more of God's light and love. The Holy Ghost has given me knowledge that the events of this book really happened - thousands of people across a millennium of history in ancient America knew of and accessed the power of Jesus Christ. What a sign from God that His message is for all people of all time, everywhere! And it's a fun read to feel the personalities and strengths and weaknesses of so many in the book - Abinadi's lack of disguising skills in Mosiah 12:1 make me laugh every time.

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Thank you Jesus for setting me free. You are the most high. The SON of God sent here so all could have a chance to accept you into their lives, (salvation) to fulfill prophecy, and much much more. I thank you Jesus on this day that we are celebrating your birth. In your Holy Holy name, Amen.

Nonsense! It was written by Joseph Smith in the 1800's.

[MyFireVideos]

I love these concise and simple videos about core beliefs. They are very digestible and share-able. Thanks!

By their fruits you will know them… contrast the people who call themselves Christian versus those who call them latter-day Saints and tell me which one is more loving, gentle, helpful & Christ like then you’ll know which one speaks truth

[JAPTHECAT]

This book is true, I know for a fact. It's true, Doctrine.

[clearstonewindows]

The book of mormon has really helped me draw closer Jesus Christ I loved that book

[dcpaulk]

Actually the book of Mormon was written about 193 years ago. Since its publication it has had and has on going doctrinal changes and story narrative changes.

[mahimamukherjee]

Read the Bible. It is enough. Directly sent by GOD TO US

[Elizabeth-rkdo]

Jesus Christ never said that anyone needed to believe that the Book of Mormon is true to get to the 'top level' of heaven.

He never charged 10% of anyone's income or checked for valid temple recommends at the temple doors.

Salvation is quite simple.
Like the thief on the cross, all anyone needs to do is repent of their sins and put their faith in what Christ has already done for them when he shed his blood on the cross, died and rose again. 💕

A broken and contrite heart God will not despise.

God bless.

[na.y.]

I'm grateful for the love of God in preparing the Book of Mormon for us! My life is blessed by it! God helps me through it!

[dcpaulk]

Did you catch what the narrator said!? He said that the book was written 1600 years ago! That would mean it was written in 424 AD. Something doesn't add up. Especially if they espouse that the beginning of it is around 600 BC.

[sstephen]

The best book and reading it will help you in life 👍🏆

[davidcolumbia]

Stay away! This book was not written 1600 yrs ago. It was written by a man some nearly 200 yrs ago. Use your discernment if you are thinking about reading it!

God say in The book of Leviticus chapter 19 verse 1 be holy for your God is holy not Mormon
