The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is another Testament of Jesus Christ.  We believe in the Bible, but we believe that the Book of Mormon as well. They testify of each other.   As written in the cover page of the Book of Mormon, it reads that the purpose of the book is to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God.  Why people say we're not Christians, I can't figure out for the life of me.   I know that the Book of Mormon does just that, it more fully convinces people that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.  
Now the big question is do you have the resolve to find out whether or not the Book of Mormon is true.   If you want to find out about it, get yourself a copy, sit down, and read about it.  When you're done reading, even if it is just in part, kneel down and pray about it.  I know that God will answer your prayers.  He has done so for me and for the 14,000,000 other members of this church. The big question is, are you willing to try?
For those people who read on past that challenge in Moroni, read it again.  That promise extends to all people whether or not you have received an answer in the past.  Ask again, ask your Father in Heaven and he will either remind you of how you felt before, or he will confirm the truths that you know you know.  I know that it is true, that is why I am out here on a mission doing what I'm doing.  
The video below is an Apostle's introduction to the Book of Mormon.  Only three minutes, not too long.
