Publisher Description
The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible. It is a record of God’s dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains the fulness of the everlasting gospel. The Prophet Joseph Smith translated this record by the gift and power of God and first published it in March of 1830 as the Book of Mormon. It is now published in many languages as a new and additional witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that all who will come unto him and obey the laws and ordinances of his gospel may be saved. The 2013 edition of the Book of Mormon includes clarifications and adjustments to the introduction, footnotes, and chapter headings; however, these adjustments have not been so extensive as to require members to purchase the new edition to stay current with either the Church curriculum or personal study.

Book of Scripture
This is a book of scripture which members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe comes from God and was translated by Joesph Smith. It contains the story of ancient inhabitants of the American continent and God’s dealings with them.
When I read it I feel the influence of the Holy Spirit and he inspires me to do good, love others, and hope to return with my family to live with God after this life.
This is the best book EVER
You should read this book I like christen books and found this one you can tell its true
Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ
I like how it is a parallel to the Holy Bible. In what could be called the "New Testament" section of this book, Mormon writes about baptism the same way Paul writes about circumcision. That is, it is not required for salvation. The only thing required for salvation is Jesus Christ.
Mormon writes this, and I agree with him, because the Roman Catholic Church preaches that even babies will suffer eternal hellfire if they are not baptized.
Salvation is the free gift to us from God through his Son Jesus Christ. It is not based on works, so that no one may boast, it is through faith without works that we receive immortality.
We demonstrate our faith to other humans within works, but Jesus already knows that we have faith, if we do have faith, and there is nothing which must be done outwardly to prove it to the Lord Christ Jesus.
