"The images of the Arabian desert captured in the film Journey of Faith make Alma's description all the more vivid. The film seeks to capture in word and image both the monumental challenges that Lehi and Sariah faced in the wilderness and the importance of this venture, which was celebrated and remembered by their descendants for a thousand years thereafter."
- S Kent Brown, Peter Johnson

Hi. My name is Ned and I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When I was nineteen years old I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life, in fact, it was an event that has shaped my life ever since. The Book of Mormon is a book of scripture similar to the Bible. Because of the Book of Mormon, many people inadvertently call us the Mormons. The Book of Mormon tells the story of a group of people who lived in Jerusalem near the time of the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah. The leader of this group was a...

I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (commonly referred to as Mormons) my whole life. However, I’m not so different from everyone else. I’m a freshman college student like all my friends. I love to laugh and have a good time. I get stressed out about school, drama, and everyday life. Yet, all of the craziness that comes with moving 2,000 miles away from my family makes me so grateful for the gospel in my life. Even though I grew up within The Church of Jesus Christ, it took me awhile to realize that I...

Recently, a sincere question posted on a Christian forum read, “Is the Book of Mormon a door to God?” I thought to myself, “Yes, in a way, it really is.” It opens our eyes to the Savior in much the same way as the Bible does. The Book of Mormon is advantaged in that it does not contain the errors induced by copyists and translators. Some say, “Why do we need anything more than the Bible?” To them, I’d simply ask, “What’s unusual about an author, much less the Author of our faith, addressing...

My Dear Friend, The Book of Mormon is a gift from God to you. It is the word of God given through the prophet Joseph Smith to us today.

I love the Book of Mormon. When I became a teenager I remember being challenged for the first time to read the entire book. That first reading was difficult as the words and the language were different than the modern books I was used to. But I remember after reading it there was a feeling that came to me. It was a peace and a joy that seemed to make me feel I had accomplished something that was pleasing to God. I soon decided that the Book of Mormon would be a part of my life forever. Over the years I have re-read the Book of...

I’m an eighteen-year-old member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I have learned for myself that this church is true. The Book of Mormon stands as a witness of Jesus Christ and supports the Bible in teachings of God’s word. I have read this book and felt my Heavenly Father speaking to me through its pages. I know that the Prophet Joseph Smith restored the gospel to the earth after it was lost, and that he translated the Book of Mormon so we can have it with us now, for our guidance and learning. I know,...

Dear Reader- My name is Jordan Clive. I was baptized at age 8 and have grown up in an LDS family, but I did not receive my testimony of the Book of Mormon from my family. I attribute my testimony in this sacred book to the Holy Ghost, which is the means of revelation by which we can attain knowledge concerning God’s truth. When I was 18 years old, I made a decision to myself that I would read the Book of Mormon every single day in order to know for myself if it is true. I needed to know for myself if this book really was written by...

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to read this book. It has the power to change lives, and the Spirit of the Lord will bring peace to your heart as you sincerely seek to know if it is truly the word of God. I have had that experience as I have read the words of the prophets who lived in North and South America anciently. I know through the power of the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon is the word of God in addition to the Bible, and stands as a second witness of our Savior’s mission, to bring us and our families back to the presence of our...

I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It is another testament of Jesus Christ and a companion to the Bible. The Book of Mormon is also a witness to the world that Jesus Christ lives, visited the American continent and testifies that God’s word is not exclusive, nor limited to the stick of Judah (Bible). God’s word can even come to us personally through prayer. I know it is true based on my experience with reading and praying about it. Whenever I read and pray about it, I feel good and I feel happy. And I know that every...

I have been blessed to grow up as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was raised in a strong family who taught me the gospel through both lesson and example. I have heard the stories from the scriptures from a very young age, and they always seemed like second nature to me. As I have grown up and ventured out on my own, I have discovered a personal love for the scriptures, including the Book of Mormon. The stories that were so familiar to me have come alive as I have studied them more in depth. By reading and...
