The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is the word of God. Anyone who sincerely and prayerfully read this book will know that this a from God and not of man. THis book has the power to change lives.

@Samuel Smith

The same could be said for Isaiah. In my opinion, however, the Book of Mormon is actually quite interesting.

Don't listen to any of the naysayers, The Book of Mormon is true. Mark Twain and other critics have no idea what they're talking about. Read it for yourself, it's another Testament of Jesus Christ that goes right along with the Bible! The Book of Mormon supports and verifies the Bible. The truth has been restored and it's free for everyone to read! Do yourself a favor and start reading it now. You'll be glad you did!

PS The Book of Mormon contains an account of the Native Americans before Christopher Columbus came and before we had the tribes we know about today. It describes their experiences with Jesus Christ and contains a history of the people - their family lines, their divisions, their travels, their wars and more.

A work of fiction labeled the "word of god" by the followers of mormonism, yet truely, the author is the church itself and make changes convienet to the times. I wonder if this is the version that describes the pure (and desirable) race as: "white and delightsome" or if this is the new and improved version that took a note from the 1960s (although a decade and a half late) with the offending word of God changed to "pure and delightsome" so the church's missionary efforts could proceed smoothly onward in Brazil and Africa. Nice book to skip.

A wonderful book. Just as God spoke to ancient people across the Atlantic, he spoke to people here. This is their record. It is faith promoting and inspiring. It is also a voice of warning.

wow so where do I start this book is amazing. I would defiently recommend it to any one. And when you read this , be sure you start reading it in the right mood. If you go in reading it trying to prove how its a load of a crap , then you'll mostlikely come out proving your self right. Xlcheck it out

To quote Mark Twain from Roughing It

CHAPTER XVI.
"All men have heard of the Mormon Bible, but few except the "elect" have seen it, or, at least, taken the trouble to read it. I brought away a copy from Salt Lake. The book is a curiosity to me, it is such a pretentious affair, and yet so "slow," so sleepy; such an insipid mess of inspiration. It is chloroform in print.

If Joseph Smith composed this book, the act was a miracle--keeping awake while he did it was, at any rate. If he, according to tradition, merely translated it from certain ancient and mysteriously-engraved plates of copper, which he declares he found under a stone, in an out-of-the-way locality, the work of translating was equally a miracle, for the same reason.

The book seems to be merely a prosy detail of imaginary history, with the Old Testament for a model; followed by a tedious plagiarism of the New Testament. The author labored to give his words and phrases the quaint, old-fashioned sound and structure of our King James's translation of the Scriptures; and the result is a mongrel--half modern glibness, and half ancient simplicity and gravity. The latter is awkward and constrained; the former natural, but grotesque by the contrast. Whenever he found his speech growing too modern--which was about every sentence or two--he ladled in a few such Scriptural phrases as "exceedingsore," "and it came to pass," etc., and made things satisfactory again. "And it came to pass" was his pet. If he had left that out, his Bible would have been only a pamphlet."

Mark Twain

I would have thought that having been inspired by God himself, that literary excellence would have been the call of the day for the book of Mormon.
Made in simple language it is indeed a book for the simpleton of grammar and good writing.

The book in total however fails to attain any semblance of awe-inspiring literature. Otherwise The Book of Mormon is an excellent scripture of sleepy wobbly fantasy.

Samuel Smith 2007

An impressive combination of simplicity, truthful principles, and a comprehinsive understanding of God's Plan.

A story so closely related to SCIENCE FICTION Bram Stokers Dracula seems real.

This is my favorite book. I love books and we maintain a library of over 5,000 volumes in our home... plus, electronic media. This is the best. I've actually been through it 3 times this year. I've also read about 7-8 other books in the last two months (non-fiction mostly... some fiction). This book is a witness of Jesus Christ of an a covenant people who followed his teachings in the Americas. It has done more for my testimony of Jesus than anything else I've ever read. When read along with the Bible, it give an amazing clear picture of God's dealings with His people. A must read for all those who love the Bible. A must read for all those who love the Lord.
