Summary: Wonderful, deep, pure, and moving.
Review: This book is spectacular! Though it is beautiful to read, it is not just pretty words, it is filled with truths you can live by.If this book was not inspired by God, I am very confused, how can a book that teaches forgiveness, the atonment of Jesus Christ, and so on, be written by a liar or inspired by the devil? I can honestly say, from a religious point of view, that Satan would not waste his time having a man write a book that can change your life for the better like this book can. The devil wants life to be miserable for you, and so he would probubly be trying to keep you from a book with such a joyfull message as this book has. I don't think its possible that the devil could inspire a book such as this. I also do not think a Liar could create something that speaks peace to the heart as this book does, liars cannot do that, nor can the devil. I love this book. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this book, it is food for the religious soul, even for those who are not mormons.

Summary: Fraudulent Book by a Fraudulent Author
Review: Sorry mormon people, but your entire religion can be wiped off the face of the Earth by Galatians 1:8-9, which states that even if an ANGEL FROM HEAVEN(sound familiar?) preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed. This is the most obvious case of the Bible discounting the mormon religion, but there are tons of others. Regardless of what mormons tell you, this book does not fit in harmony with the Bible in the least. Sorry mormon people, but either the angel "Moroni" was a demon from hell(or possibly Satan himself) or Joseph Smith was a liar. Either way mormonism loses.

Summary: Amazing testimony of Christ as Savior and Lord
Review: I loved finding Jesus Christ talked about so beautifully as being the only way to salvation. The entire book is about Jesus Christ the Lord, and the people who were looking towards the birth of their redeemer. Has both B.C. and A.D. stories. Doctrinally, it is a perfect match to Old and New Testament. I went through the book page by page holding a highlighter in my hand looking for things that were doctrinally "unsound" when compared to the Bible. Not only did I find no contradictions to traditional doctrine of the birth, death, resurrection and second coming of Christ, but I found that I was uplifted and drawn closer to the Lord as I read it. What more could you ask for from a book that claims to be another testament of Jesus Christ?

Summary: It's True
Review: I've read this numerous times and the things that are written in it testify of Christ. It is a companion to the Bible, and is a way for millions to grow closer to their God and Creater. I recommend this book. If you read it with a sincere heart, wanting to know of it's truthfullness and judging it by, "Oh, mormmmonnss..." than you will recieve an answer of it.

Summary: Amazing witness of Jesus Christ
Review: This is an amazing book, even if you approach it merely as religious fiction. Harold Bloom, an eminent Yale scholar, said it was the work of an "authentic religious genius." (The American Religion, ISBN 0671867377). But Mormons believe the Book of Mormon is much more than an interesting story. They believe it is scripture, a companion to the Holy Bible. Why does anyone need more scriptures, when we've already got the Bible? In the Bible, Paul said, "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" (2 Corinthians 13:1). Mormons believe the Book of Mormon complements the Bible, and that by studying one you can better understand the other. Joseph Smith claimed he translated ancient records by the gift and power of God, and then published it in 1830 as the Book of Mormon. He also claimed to be a modern prophet and to receive revelations from God. Isn't that blasphemy? Yes, unless Joseph Smith really was prophet. For this reason, Mormons say the Book of Mormon is the keystone of their religion. If Joseph Smith lied, then the Mormon church was founded on a hoax. If the book is true, Joseph Smith was a prophet and the church he founded was the work of God. Millions of people have read the Book of Mormon, and have felt the Holy Spirit testify to their hearts that its words are true. I encourage you to read it with an open mind and an open heart, and decide for yourself. I have read it many times, and this book is amazing. It gives me spiritual strength and it helps me try to follow the teachings of Jesus, as taught in both the Book of Mormon and the Bible. I have felt the witness of the Spirit that this book is true. Just as you can't prove God exists, you can't prove the Book of Mormon is authentic. Ultimately, you must take these on faith. That's the point of this life's test - to walk by faith. However, this does not mean there is no evidence that that the Book of Mormon is authentic. For starters, I recommend you look into these two books by Hugh Nibley: Since Cumorah (ISBN 0875791395) and Lehi in the Desert and the World of the Jaredites (ISBN 0875791328 or ASIN 0884940225). Also read the essay on the Book of Mormon in this book: Storyteller in Zion, by Orson Scott Card (ASIN 1573458082). As you read the Book of Mormon, ask yourself, "Could this have been written by a barely educated, 25-year-old farmer in the early 1800's?" The narrative and the cultures described are complex. The events span 1000 years of history. The language is rich and often literary. The ideas are profound, yet in harmony with the Bible. Mormons believe the purpose of both the Bible and the Book of Mormon is to lead a person to Jesus Christ and His teachings. The central theme of the Book of Mormon is Jesus Christ. It contains many witnesses of Him. Here are a few samples: "We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins." (2 Ne. 25: 26, page 100.) "For three days and for three nights was I racked, even with the pains of a damned soul. And as I was thus ... harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, I remembered to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world. Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death. And now, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more. And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy." (Alma 36: 16-20, page 299.) "And now, I would commend you to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of them, may be and abide in you forever." (Ether 12:41, page 511.) "And the angel spake unto me again, saying: Look! And I looked, and I beheld the Lamb of God going forth among the children of men. And I beheld multitudes of people who were sick, and who were afflicted with all manner of diseases, and with devils and unclean spirits; and the angel spake and showed all these things unto me. And they were healed by the power of the Lamb of God; and the devils and the unclean spirits were cast out. And it came to pass that the angel spake unto me again, saying: Look! And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, that he was taken by the people; yea, the Son of the everlasting God was judged of the world; and I saw and bear record. And I, Nephi, saw that he was lifted up upon the cross and slain for the sins of the world." (1 Nephi 11: 31-33, page 21.) "O how great the goodness of our God, who prepareth a way for our escape from the grasp of this awful monster; yea, that monster, death and hell... Hell must deliver up its captive spirits, and the grave must deliver up its captive bodies, and the bodies and the spirits of men will be restored one to the other; and it is by the power of the resurrection of the Holy One of Israel." (2 Ne. 9: 10-12, page 73.)

Summary: Things I learned from The Book of Mormon
Review: The Book of Mormon has many great lessons. Here are some of the important lessons found in this book: If you own brass plates, don't show them off. Keep it low key, especially around the local prophet guy. If the local prophet guy asks you about your brass plates say, lie for your own protection. Say, "Brass Plates? What brass plates? I don't own brass plates." If someone orders you to hand over your brass plates, especially the sons of the local prophet guy, and you don't want to give them to them, just say no. You own them. If they insist you give them your brass plates, call the cops. If after calling the cops, the perpetrators get away, hire bodyguards to watch over you and your plates. Don't get drunk until they are captured. If you are responsible for guarding your boss's brass plates, and someone shows up claiming to be your boss and asks you to give him the brass plates, check his ID first. If you are responsible for guarding your boss's brass plates, and someone shows up covered in blood, wearing your boss's clothes, claiming to be your boss, but he doesn't look anything like your boss, and he asks you to hand over the brass plates you should say, "Sure boss, I'll be right back." Then pretend to go into the back room to get the plates, but instead call the cops. If you are investigating the murder/robbery of a guy who was killed for his brass plates, the first suspects you should interview should be the sons of the local prophet guy who were last seen ordering the dead guy to give them his brass plates. If you are investigating the murder/robbery of a guy who was killed for his brass plates, and the prime suspects are the sons of the local prophet guy, don't waste time looking for them in town. Most likely they packed up everything and headed for the sea. Check the nearby beaches. If you are writing on gold plates, keep in mind it is really hard and Gold plates are rare. Therefore, to get the most bang for the buck from the limited gold plates you should use a secret language called 'Reformed Egyptian' which is more compact than regular Egyptian, and avoid repetitive phrases like 'And it came to pass' unless those phrases are absolutely necessary to get the point across. If you wake up one morning and realize someone turned you into an Indian, it just means you are one of the bad guys. Don't get upset, it doesn't necessarily mean you are a bad person, just that you happen to be part of the bad 'nation'. If you want to fix the problem of looking like an Indian, find someone who didn't get turned into an Indian, who is still white and start going to church with him. Meet with the missionaries of his church, take the discussions, and get baptized. If you follow the teachings of the white guy's church, you will turn white again. If you are an atheist who asks the local prophet guy for a sign, and the prophet curses you, and you are deaf and dumb, going from door to door begging for food, and you see a group of people marching down the street, do not walk out into the middle of them, unless you want to get trampled to death. If Jesus comes to visit you, keep in mind that one of the things you can wish for is immortality. So don't waste your wish on anything less than immortality. You might be able to wish for more wishes, but I wouldn't test Jesus' patience. Stick with the immortality wish. We know that one works. If someone is lying unconscious for 2 days and 2 nights and you aren't sure if he is dead or not, try smelling him. If he doesn't stink, he might still be alive. One way to impress a guy is to cut off the arms of his enemies and bring him the severed arms. If you need to escape from a town because everyone's language got mixed up, the best way to escape is by the sea, with a barge. If you need to build a barge to travel across the sea after escaping from a town where the languages got mixed up, the best way to build it is to put a hole on the top and a hole on the bottom. That way you can get air by opening the top hole and if it tips over, you can still get air by opening the bottom hole which is now on top. If you accidentally open the wrong hole and notice water rushing in, just stop up the hole real quick and open the other hole. If you are building a barge to travel across the sea do not put windows in your barge. It is unrealistic to expect the windows to survive the crashing waves of the sea. If you want light, use glowing rocks instead. If you are building a barge to travel across the ocean, be sure to bring lots and lots of food and fresh water because the trip will take 344 days. If you need to go to the bathroom, do it over the side of the barge because the holding tank can only hold a few days worth of human waste. If you find yourself on the battlefield fighting your arch nemesis, and you chop off his head and he falls to the ground, do not be alarmed when he lifts himself up and gasps for air. This is a common reaction to getting your head chopped off. If you find yourself on the battlefield fighting your arch nemesis and he chops your head off, don't waste your time and energy lifting yourself up and gasping for air. Give it up. You're dead. There is no medical procedure to reattach a head.

Summary: Very Enlightening Book
Review: I hear all of these people talk about whether this book is true or false. To create such a stir, there must be some powerful words deep in its pages. I have read this book several times, and it makes me feel great. It is subtitled "Another Testimony of Jesus Christ" because it is the ancient writings of another civilization who also experienced the goodness and salvation and happiness of Christ's teachings. That means it is a great companion to your Bible study, not a replacement. I think that
the self-destructive reviwer who left the review titled "Another Testament, or another Jesus?, October 3, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from the land of intellectual honesty" Was severely confused about what this book is really all about. I definitley reccomend this book to anyone who is struggling with their faith in God. It is real, and it is powerful, and it can change your life for the better. Dont let other people get you down!

Summary: YOU'VE GOT TO BE JOKING!! People believe this crap???
Review: No sane person can read the Book of Mormon and say they "know that it's true" --- This is so bad that I almost want to hit a Mormon up side the head and tell them to wise up. It's really sad . . so many great people have fallen to what has got to be the biggest lie handed to the human race. All I can say to you Mormons is put aside your beliefs for just a short time and do some research. It will not take long to find massive amounts of evidence to disprove the Book of Mormon.

Summary: this book is true
Review: for one, about the smithsonian report, they have recently retracted that document, because of the fact that they have found out those things were acurate that they stated were wrong, and the first people on the americas didn't get there in 600 bc, they were there far before that...look at the book of ether, and lastly if a prophet recieves revelation from God, and another prophet of God gets the same one...word for word...how is that plagarism? this book is true and i love it
