Summary: Simply the best!
Review: I have read this book several times and it is amazing how I can learn something new each time I read it. I can feel something from this book that I have never felt while reading any other book. I know that it is a true account of the ancient inhabitants of the American continents...their struggles, their prophesies, their wars, and even their spiritual and physical destructions. It is truly amazing!

Summary: The One And Only True Book On Earth Today...
Review: What does the truth mean to you? It's a loaded question, but also a necessary one that you must honestly ask yourself during your lifetime. If you had discovered a book that contained every principle of truth that God mercifully gave to His children so that they may have a way of returning to His presence one day, and gain exhaultation, would you ignore it? Would you at least give such a book, claiming to contain these truths, a sincere one-time read-through, just to see for yourself what you think? I can only ask... Read the book for yourself and then judge righteuously the contents of its pages. Make no quick, judgemental, fearful remarks before you've read it from cover to cover. The book will either cost you nothing, or next to nothing to obtain---a bit of your time is mostly what you will need to spend. Your time is precious, there's no disputing that, but putting your time to good use can change your life for better and open the doors of happiness to you for eternity. Is not your immortal soul worth the time it takes to read one book?

Summary: My first review was Banned two years after being written!
Review: Dear Readers:
I was actually surprised that my first review of this book was banned (after being listed for about 2 years). I simply stated (without name-calling or profanity), facts about ol' Joe Smith and his connections to Masonic Lodges and the review was finally censored. Basically this book purports to be a history of ancient people and prophets, and discovered by Joe Smith with the aid of an angel (in New York State), and actual visitation by god the father and son,...jesus christ in a forest near his home (mormons believe god the father, the holy ghost, and jesus are not one but seperate entities). Yes, the "Latter Day Saints" actually believe all this to be true. If you want to read about the connections between Joeseph Smith and the Masons there's plenty of historical information out there to read along with numerous websites. I read a great deal at my University Library and one book written by Mormon scholars called "Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought Vol. 27, No.3. Fall 1994," went into great detail to prove Smiths involvement with lodges, and other particulars of the church which would make the average Latter Day Saint scratch their head in disbelief. It's all documented and true, and even the Mormons will admit to its validity, (if they're even aware of it, for it's not one of their proud moments in their church history). If you ever attend a Latter-Day Saint church, they never talk about the gray areas in church history, Smith's history, his arrests, his conections to the jewish book of mysticism, sigils, ritual daggers, treasure hunting, Book of Mormon text changes, numerous seer stones, the current president ( not president of church at the time) buying false documents regarding Joseph Smith seeing a white salamander instead of God, (why would he purchase such fantasy if he believed the book of mormon to be true??)...etc, etc ad infinum! All of this is neatly "sweeped under the rug". Ask a Mormon missionary about anything of this nature and they'll be dumbfounded; I can almost certaintly guarantee it!
I thought that the only religious grouping with enough pull and power to ban and edit unwanted facts were the Jews, but now I guess the Mormons have just as much power here on Amazon! Looks like zionism reigns supreme in this nation.
"A comfortable lie usually wins over an uncomforatable truth," and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is proof of this.

Summary: This Book Can Change Your Life for the Better
Review: This book can change your life for the better. It has mine.

I have read the Book of Mormon many times. When I first read it, without pondering it carefully, and without praying, it didn't do much for me.

But once I started reading the book for understanding, and really wanting to find out if it was true, and praying to our Heavenly Father in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, to know if this book was indeed divinely inspired, I got my answer from God.

I know that this is a true book. It is filled with many wonderful truths that shed light on the most important questions that people need to know in this life. It uplifts me in spirit. It helps me in my day-to-day life.

I know that Joseph Smith, the man who translated this book by the gift and power of God, was a prophet called by God. Many people say differently. Go to the Source. Go to Him who is your Father in Heaven, and ask him sincerely if this book (once you've read it) is true and if Joseph was a prophet. You can get an answer.

Summary: I would be remiss
Review: if I didn't post before you today, and humbly bear my testimonkey of the Book of Marmon. I know with all the fiber in my bean, that the Book of Marmon is bad fiction written by as B.H. Roberts asserted, "an immature mind." Yes, I post boldly and with the spirit of reason to you today, that this book has changed the lives of many people. For this book has inspired people to believe that because they are "white and delightsome", that they are a chosen and peculiar people. This book solemnly affirms that God regularly punishes the wicked and the unbeliever with dark skin.

This book also inspired acts of violence in the name of the lord. Just as Nephi understood, that "better one man should perish, than an entire nation dwindle in unbelief", many other Mormons have taken the matter into their own hands. From the second biggest religious terrorist attack in our nation's history at Mountain Meadows, to the killing of perceived apostates by Porter Rockwell, Bill Hickman, Hosea Stout, and Dan Lafferty, this book has stood as the inspirational anthem of blood atonement.

Yes, I testify that this book has inspired many people to better themselves. A common theme in this book is that God blesses the righteous with economic prosperity, but then punishes them with economic hardship when they turn away from the Lord. It makes me feel so superior to know that the less fortunate should have been more valiant in the pre-existence. .

I will bear witness to you that the Book of Marmon has been found to help many people who suffer with the heartbreak and fatigue of insomnia. Even the great author Mark Twain realized the medical value of this book when he called it "chloroform in print." 2 Nephi by itself has given hope to those suffering from this crippling sleeping disorder. This is the reason for the two star rating.

I also testify, that this book testifies of Jesus Christ. In this book, those who rejected his glad message were destroyed in earthquakes, floods and other disasters. You think Jesus was pissed at the moneychangers in the temple? Check out his wrath in 3 Nephi. Reminds me of an old primary song "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam" but my version would go "Jesus killed me in an earthQUAKE, because I wasn't good...." Yes this Jesus fellow sure made an entrance. The message is, "believe in me, or I'll show you who's boss.

Let me say in closing, that I know without a shadow of a doubt, that Joseph Smith wrote this book. My testimonkey grows stronger every day that Joseph Smith was a philandering con-man who had a thing for underage women. I know with all my heart that the current profit is running from his church's history in order to sound mainstream. I wish him luck.

And I say these things in the name of a good lager, amen.

Summary: WHAT A TOTAL JOKE!
Review: ONE STAR? Too bad you can't give it 0 stars. THERE SHOULD BE A NEGATIVE SCALE FOR THIS BOOK.

Come on, do you have to remove your brain to buy this crapola? Read 2 Nephi 3 4-19, the words "the fruit of my loins" is repeated 18 times. GREAT LITERATURE? Repetitive dribble. THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST BOOK ever to cut down trees for. There is SO much evidence to disprove the Mormon faith and to link it to Jesus Christ is even funnier if not so sad. Read Under the Banner of Heaven to better understand what this money grubbing, "religion" is really about!

Summary: Monotonous tone and weak characterization
Review: I found this book very tedious and had to space it over a long period of time in order to even finish it (which I did only at the request of a family member.) The fact that it presents itself as fact doesn't add to its appeal. As entertainment it is worthless, as history it is an embarrassing joke.

Summary: It is what it is
Review: Whether you are of the LDS faith or not, all who read The Book of Mormon can not help but feel a deeper love and grateful for Christ. The book is truly what it claims to be, another testament of Jesus Christ.

Summary: I love this book!
Review: I have read the Book of Mormon many times and each time I grow to love it more. It is written by prophets of God and for OUR time. It clearly states this, and oh how we need this wonderful book that describes so graphically the experiences of a people who came to the Americas directed by a loving God. All they experienced we are experiencing as well. I know it to be a perfect guide for my life and it reinforces those wonderful biblical scriptures that identify our Savior and His life and His sacrifice for mankind. I DEFINITELY LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON. Anyone who would read it with a sincere desire for truth and asks God for a confirmation of it's validity would know it's true.

Summary: An excellent help to better understand the Bible teachings
Review: I consider myself a lifelong student of the teachings of Jesus Christ the Holy Prophets and like most good Christians I try my best to put into effect the principals that Jesus taught. As I've studied the Bible trying my best to learn what was taught by the prophets and Jesus Christ himself, I've come across many areas that seem to be vague or missing and are left unanswered. Having read the Book of Mormon, I'm amazed at how well it compliments the teachings of the Bible, and clarifies its principals and doctrine.

I strongly recommend it for anyone who's honestly trying to learn and put into action, the teachings and principals of the Bible.
