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.”

WE INVITE YOU:

“TO READ THE BOOK OF MORMON,

TO PONDER IN YOUR HEARTS THE MESSAGE IT CONTAINS,

AND THEN TO ASK GOD, THE ETERNAL FATHER,

IN THE NAME OF CHRIST, IF THE BOOK IS TRUE.”


1.Did the people of this Book really live?


2.Could any unlearned boy have written such things or, did they come forth as Joseph Smith said they did?


3.If it is “Another Testament of Christ”, what does it testify of him?


4.If the Book was written for us, what is in there for us?

Why Mormon.org Was Made for You!

”i'm
I'm a Mormon.

Having grown up in the Bay Area for the first half of my life and continuing it on in Sacramento, CA for the last 10 years, being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has always provided me with some interesting questions, comments, and trials.  From grade school extending on into college, there never has been a large concentration of members attending the same school as I.  During my elementary school years in Pittsburgh, CA, I might have been one out of three members.  Although there was an increase as I attended middle school and high school in Sacramento, it wasn't by much.  Consistently having those few of numbers has given me the great opportunity to be an example of what I believe. 

Although I might have done a fair job at showing what I believe, I was not the best at telling others what I believed in and why.  Now serving a full-time mission for the Church, I have increased my opportunities to tell others about those beliefs - that is my focus! and I'm learning now that it should always be my focus.  Many people tell me, "Oh, you just want to convert me" or "It's only a matter of who you think is right or wrong".  I appreciate those comments and I am glad when these concerns come up because that is not why I am telling them about my beliefs at all.  Rather, I am sharing them because it is what I have found to be true, its what has helped me know who Jesus Christ is, and how I can follow Him to the very end.  It has brought my family closer together then anything else I know and it really does work!  (This is why I love missionary work so much)  The message which we share is applicable to anyone and everyone.
