Summary: Show me this proof of these people! Bible Rip off!
Review: As former Mormon, now inactive I remember hearing and reading this book all the time in the Mormon Church! I always wanted to see proof of these people. The Mormons believe in this book without asking for tangible proof the people lived.According to the Mormons these people lived in South or Latin America. If these people lived , then where is the proof? Also why not let others see the plates so they could be part of the whole scam! I have not read the whole Bible , but I've read enough to know the Book of Mormon is a big rip off of it! As for the story itself it has many grammer error, many far fetched possible situations(like when Nephi kills a big powerful man(where's this guy's bodrguards? ) or when Christ comes everyone good for 200 years? (If I was a society that good, I'd rebel against it! ) These are two example of the far fetched situations one finds when reading this material! I've read this book several times in my life and I still want proof from the Mormons that these people lived!

Summary: Why I stopped liking the Book of Mormon
Review: I stopped even liking the Book of Mormon when I began reading the Bible. (You remember the Bible, don't you? The Word of God? Yes. That's the one!)What happened was that I realised that not only had vast chunks of the Bible been "borrowed" (stolen is SUCH an ugly word!) for use in the Book of Mormon. More importantly whole incidents (such as the Strippling Warriors) were LIFTED from the Bible and TRANSPLANTED into the Book of Mormon! Take my tip. If you want the word of God undiluted, buy a copy of the Bible. And leave the Book of Mormon well alone. Incidentally, the Book of Mormon originally credited Joseph Smith with being the author of the Book of Mormon, rather than the translator. I was also intrigued to discover that as well as claiming to use a translating device supplied by God, Joseph used a seer stone that he had found down a deep hole whilst looking for some buried treasure (or water, I forget which) by using magic. The seer stone he found he used to translate the Book of Mormon by pressing it against his forehead, whilst he had a black hat wrapped round his face to keep out the light. Sounds rather too New Age or Occult to be anything nearing mainstream Christianity. But there you are. You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Summary: Obviously a fantasy flight for the light minded
Review: I spent many years as a devout member of the LDS church. After much reflection and analysis, I now believe the church is primarilty a socioeconomic organization that masquerades as a religious cult. The foundation of the church's atypical Christian belief is the Book of Mormon, a product of the vivid imagination of Joe Smith and ample plagiarism from the Bible. The book purports to be a history of a large society that was visited by Christ around the time of the Biblical resurrection. Where these people lived is unknown, although Mormons generally feel the events happened in South or Central America. For some unexplained reason, the book is written in King James English just like the Bible, and contains numerous references to religious issues that were common to the period. What did Joseph Smith claim? That an Angel revealed to him a record written on gold plates, after which Smith translated the plates into the Book of Mormon. After the translation, the angel took the plates back - never to be seen again. (Yes, Mormons actually believe this.) With the aid of a few others Smith started a new religion and soon developed into an egotistical leader, engaging in polygamy, starting his own bank, writing numerous other "scipiture," and even running for President. The LDS church has gone to great lengths to "revise history," surpress many of Smith's foibles, and portray him as an uneducated boy who ultimately became a martyr. (Smith died in a gun battle.) The Book of Mormon is poorly written, lacks grammatical cohesiveness, and is very boring. If you are interested in what Mormons believe qualifies as a "marvelous work and wonder," than don't spend your money here, ask the LDS missionaries for a free copy.

Summary: Find the peace you have always been searching for.
Review: The Book of Mormon has changed my life more than any other single book I have ever read. It lead me to have a greater belief in the Atonement of Jesus Christ and to better understand the Bible and its teachings. I highly recommend this book to every person seeking to know and understand Jesus Christ and his teachings.

Summary: Show me the evidence
Review: I have read the Book of Mormon eight times. Almost 25% of it is copied from the Bible. The book claims that two separate groups of Semites sailed across the ocean to the Western Hemisphere. Some of these Semites turned from God and were cursed with a dark skin becoming a huge tribe called the Lamanites. The Lamanites are supposedly the Amerindians or current natives of North, Central and South America. There has been no archaeological or DNA evidence to support this tale. If you buy this book and read it, do so for metaphor, allegory and mythological purposes only.

Summary: Read It
Review: The only book that you read and read over and over again (something like the Bible) and get something new out of it all the time. Pick it up and start reading any page and it helps out your day or life situation. Uncanny really. It just is. I've read so many books critical of the Mormons, but THE book of the Mormons is "The Book of Mormon." What does anything else matter about the Mormon church when the Book of Mormon is wonderful unlike anything else be it an organization or a book.

Summary: A most profound book
Review: I found this to be a very enlightening book. It claims to be another witness to Jesus Christ (the Bible also being a testament of Jesus Christ) and it certainly is. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to gain a greater insight to Jesus Christ from the history of a Gentile civilization that claims to have seen the ressurected Christ in the flesh.
