Summary: Testament
Review: This book is the most correct of all books. It is so amazing the truth that eminates from this book. I would recommend this book to anyone searching for answers or simply a true story that can change your life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This IS entertaining, dangit! And enlightening, too!
Review: So why am I giving this book five stars? Because first of all, it is very fun to read by scriptural standards. Second of all, it has opened up a whole new realm of archaeology (if you wish to know more, get a subscription to Ancient American magazine). And finally, it is a transcendental work, to nurture the spirit (whatever it may be), and give you a more cosmic consciousness of things. Now, you can that it was written by a dozen ancient prophets. You can believe it was written by one dreamer from early America. You can even believe that Joe Smith plagiarized it from some "novel rough draft", although I can't imagine wantign to read this if it were a novel. The point is, if you have values, no matter what they are, this is a good "values" book. And if you want to hear a book written in "King James" language that's actually entertaining, at least compared to the Bible, read this. Last of all, read this to understand the cosmos better. We seem to take everything for granted these days, and this book is just one medicine for that. I could go on endlessly, but I have summarized my basic point. Peace!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most important book you will ever read!
Review: This book has changed my life in ways I never thought possible. It strengthens my faith and believe in the divinity of Christ as well as my testimony of the truthfulness of the Bible. I find that the Book of Mormon does not contradict the Bible (others may think so but they don't look under the surface of their "evidence"). Millions upon millions, past and present, have been changed by this book. I highly recommend this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What Manner of Book?
Review: The Book of Mormon is a deeply profound book. Yes, it has a basic storyline with inspiring tales that a child could love - just like the Bible. But there is so much more there for those that care to look. This book comments extensively on why we needed the atonement of Jesus Christ - in a way the Bible does not. You'll come away from reading this book with a definitive understanding of why we need Christ and how we can only be saved through His merits.

Everyone must judge for themselves about this book. Belief in a book that was delivered by an angel to a young boy is a difficult thing. There is no denying this.

Whether you intend to read it as a book of scripture or just to understand your Mormon neighbors better, it is worth the read.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Who thought murder and bloodshed could be so BORING?
Review: Any good Mormon will tell you that Joseph Smith had a fifth grade level education when he dictated this book to his scribes, and boy does it show. The book is a repetitive, juvenile, uncoordinated, rambling chore to read, written in the lowest style imaginable. There are wars and stuff on just about every page and Christ comes and everything but the plot and all the characters are poorly developed. What is a secret combination? Apparently you have to read it a whole lot of times to make any sense out of it, but it certainly isn't worth the effort.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Something you should know...
Review: Although I have always believed that a person should be judged on their characteristics and personality, their love for God is what really sets them apart. If you are a Christian, you know what you must do to get to heaven. If I could give this book zero stars I would.

Granted Mormons also refer to the bible for their teachings, they mainly seek answers from the Book of Mormom. They say that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, a continuation, and that Jesus did not die for everyone.
Let me stress to you the following:

1. Revelations 22:18-19 (NIV)
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone ADDS anything to them, God will add to him the PLAGUES described in this book (18). And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book (19)."

I think the verse is plain enough. There was NO continuation of the bible whatsoever, no "other testament of Jesus Christ".

2. 1st Peter 3:18
"For Christ died for sins once and for ALL, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God."

I think some people should consider what they read before they believe it. If you want truth, the only place you can find it is by THE BIBLE, the Word of God, and I quote: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1)

If you are in a search for truth, this book is not the one for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most thought provoking book of this Century
Review: I am happy that a friend gave me a copy of this book and I read it. It was astounding to me to see so much history! I have since read it seven times over the years and I still love the part about the Anti-Nephi-Lehi's who opt for peace instead of war after they had sworn off killing. What were they to do when the enemy descended from the hill on them? They made a promise and did not want to back track... so they knelt on the earth and bowed down and let the enemy take them, slay them. Until the enemy could kill no more of these defenseless people and they too dropped their swords and joined with them as friends. Powerful stuff.

I also like the account in 3Nephi where it discusses Christ's appearance on the American Continent. I just think this is the most amazing thing to ever be recorded. The details are astounding, and it certainly helps clarify a lot of things that other churches have altered or changed in the Holy bible.

Two texts that give historical data of Christ's reality, the Holy Bible and this book simply chase off all doubt that He lived and does live!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Harmless and good to read
Review: A lot of people put the Mormons down but that's not fair. Just because they believe something different from some of us doesn't make them bad. I have read pretty much all the LDS books and they are pretty harmless. Christians have no reason to 'hate' Mormons. They believe many of the same things we do and their dedication to family and community is admirable.

Now sure they believe Jesus came to the Americas and that the lost tribe of Israel settled here and built a giant empire with vast cities. People point out that none of this has been found. So what? If you have faith you don't need proof. And what harm is there if it isn't true? As long as they are doing good works, I don't think God cares about the little details. In fact for centuries many in England believed that Jesus appeared there. And the myths about the lost tribe of Israel coming to the Americas existed long before the LDS (heck, there are so many places that claim the Lost Tribe came there I am beginning to wonder how those fellas made all them trips!).

And don't believe all that hogwash about polygamy. The Mormon's abandoned that years ago in order to join the Union. Only a few holdouts that aren't part of the main Mormon Church still do that.

So rather than reject the Mormons, Christians should show them the same love they show to Muslims, Jews, Hindus and Pagans. We do not hate those who think differently, we merely gently espouse our gospel and let the Holy Spirit lead them where it may.

I encourage you to read this book if you are curious what the Mormon's believe. Just like reading the Koran is a good way to learn about Muslims. By understanding different faiths, we can be better Christians.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Truth
Review: There is truth to the statement "ask God". I agree entirely. It is not the will of God that anyone should be confused. In fact, He has made it very simple. There is one book alone, there is none beside it and none higher. It is the Holy Bible. It is complete, perfect, sufficient to meet all our needs, the infallible word of God, written by God and not of man.

In comparison to the beauty, sovereignty, and holiness of God,our righteousness is repulsive. "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags."-Isaiah 64:6 KJV. We have done nothing and can do nothing to earn our way to eternal life. Jesus Christ has done that for us. He alone is the way to eternal life. "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."-John 17:3 KJV

There is one God alone. His name is Jesus Christ and His grace is sufficient for all that will accept Him as Lord and Savior. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."-Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV

There is one book and one name above which there is no other. The truth lies within the scriptures of the Holy Bible.

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book."-Revelation 22:18 KJV
