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. The people grow and eventually divide into two great
nations, who have times of war and peace. Their lives can inspire you
to have faith in Jesus Christ,
keep His commandments, and serve others.
The Book of Mormon contains holy words
of prophets who testified of the coming of the Savior.
It confirms the truths of the Bible
and witnesses that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; that He lived, died, and overcame death and
sin for each of us.
That’s why it’s called “Another
Testament of 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.
He teaches His gospel, heals the sick,
and blesses their children.
Even though it was written
over 1600 years ago, the Book of Mormon can help you with
the challenges you face today. You can find comfort in difficult
circumstances, feel peace in a troubled world, and learn how to be a better
and happier person. Most of all, you can grow closer to our
Savior Jesus Christ and feel His love for you. Missionaries can introduce you
to this life-changing book of scripture. They can leave you a free copy
and help you discover a lasting source of strength
within its pages.
