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. If you read it and pray about its teachings, I promise you it will change your life. It will increase your faith in God. You will know that He lives and loves you. It will bring you comfort as the Holy Ghost testifies to you of its truths. It will strengthen you to meet the challenges in your life. It will help you chart a course towards a fuller and happier life. I plead with you to drink deeply from its pages. If you will, you will have joy and happiness like you have never known before. If there was only one book left in the world to read I would hope it would be The Book of Mormon.

I know these things are true because it has continued to bless my life since I first read it over 40 years go. May it bless your life too.

Your Friend in Christ

Through my life, I have seen trials and blessings that the Lord has given me. Life throws curve balls at times, but I feel blessed to be able to take the rough times and continue forward because of faith in Jesus Christ. I know that Christ is the Savior of the world. I want to share with you my personal testimony that I know Christ is the Savior of the world.

It is hard sometimes to have faith that Christ is capable of healing our sins, especially because he lived so long ago. I am so grateful for the power of God to preserve writings from inspired servants so that we can know of His teachings and will for us. The Book of Mormon is a testimony to the world that Christ lived and died for the sins of the world. I know that it is a true book, written by true prophets, that has withstood the test of time so that we could know of the love of God for each one of us. We are God’s children. I know that he loves every one of us perfectly. He knows each of our names. He knows my situation and understands my difficulties. Christ knows how to help us because He has suffered everything that we will go through on this earth. I am so grateful for the knowledge that we have of Christ’s atonement, and the opportunity to repent, so that we can return to live with our Eternal Father for eternity. I know families are forever.

The Book of Mormon is another testament, along with the Bible, that we are not alone here on the earth, and that this doesn’t all end with death. God has a plan for each of us. He always is waiting for us to come to him.

One of the biggest blessings in my life has been growing up in family that attended church regularly. From when I young, I remember going to church meetings and learning of Jesus Christ and His teachings. As a family we would read scriptures together before we would go to bed, and we would talk about how to apply the scriptures in our lives. This practice was great, but at a certain point in my life I knew that if I was going to continue to live my life according to principles and teaching outlined in these books, I had better be sure I truly believed what the scriptures were saying.

There is a promise in the last section of the Book of Mormon called Moroni. In chapter 10 verses 3-5, this prophet of ancient times was instructed by the Lord to leave a promise that if any man (or woman) reads and studies the Book of Mormon, by the power of the Spirit, the truth would be made known unto them. This petition to know if these words and teachings are true is done by means of prayer.

I encourage you to read and think about what is being taught in this great book. Enjoy the wonderful feelings that you will have as you do so. Kneel down in prayer and ask God, your Father in Heaven, if these things are true. I have done this, and I have experienced the happiness and joys of knowing the truth. I know that the Book of Mormon is a valid and true book of scripture given to us from God, to lead and guide us in this tough world. I know that God still communicates with us just like in ancient times. If we read the scriptures and pray, God will answer! I hope this book can change your life for the better as it has mine!

I want you to know you that The Book of Mormon is true! My life has changed through reading its pages and trying my best to live the ideas presented to me. I have read this book to find answers to difficult problems in my life, and have always come away feeling better, with a new direction in mind. Sometimes I read its pages just to make me feel better inside.

I have come to know the stories in the Book of Mormon, and I testify to you that they are true, and that they have been written for us today. Some of my favorite stories are of Lehi’s family, and their journey to this Promised Land. I love the courage Nephi always had to face his brothers and to do what was right. I also love the story of Alma, and his son, Alma the Younger. Through this story, I know that I can be forgiven for my sins, and that the Lord never gives up on us. My favorite part is in 3 Nephi, when Jesus Christ, our Savior, comes to visit the people. I love to read this part over and over again. My favorite scripture is in 2 Nephi 31:20. It talks about pressing forward with hope; it guides my life, and lets me know that if I can just endure to the end of my days, I can have eternal life. What an incredible gift!

Please take the time to read from the pages of this book. It will change your life. I love my Heavenly Father, and his son Jesus Christ. I know that I am a child of God, with divine potential, and so are you.

Your Friend in Christ

I would like to tell you I know that what you will read in The Book of Mormon is true.

As the cover states, The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. Jesus is our Savior and He came to the people in the book to further show the world that He is the Son of God, and He organized His church as he had done in Jerusalem. This may sound weird to you so I don’t expect you to take my world alone. Read it for yourself.

In the very last section there is a book called Moroni. Read Moroni 10:3-5 and take its challenge to read, study, and pray to ask God if it is true. You can know for yourself.

Life is not easy. We all have challenges to overcome. I testify that you can find answers for many of these questions and challenges by studying the Book of Mormon. It can help life make more sense. It can bring comfort and peace.

Jesus loves each of us. He knows you personally and wants you to succeed and be happy. Reading the Book of Mormon can be a first step towards peace in your life.

The Book of Mormon is my favorite. I know the contents therein teach true principles that will lead to eternal happiness. This book changed my life, and has led me to gain knowledge of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I know that a young boy, Joseph Smith, saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and that through him the fullness of the gospel was restored to the earth. I know that he was a true prophet, and that he translated The Book of Mormon through the power of God. No ordinary, or scholarly, man can write this. It was sent to us from heaven to teach us how to return to the presence of our Father one day.

We have a living prophet to lead and guide our church today; President Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet and is the mouthpiece of God, just as were the prophets Adam and Moses in times of old.

It is so comforting to me to know of the Plan of Salvation; to know that this life is not the end, or the beginning. We lived with our Heavenly Father before this life, and we can live with Him again after this life, if we live worthy. Best of all, we can live with our families forever; these sacred relationships do not end at the grave, but carry on into eternity. I love my family and will do all that I can to make that possible. The gospel teaches me how to live and how to always be better.

I know that my Redeemer, Jesus Christ, lives. I know that He loves me and all His children. I know that because He loves us, He came to earth and set a perfect example for us to follow; and because we are not perfect, He died for us and suffered for our sins, so that we can become perfect through His atonement. I know that He hears and answers prayers. I know that He will come to my aid and bless me with peace and strength in moments of need, if I reach out to Him in humility. He has never left me alone, even in my darkest moments. I know Him, and I love Him!

Please take the time to read and pray about the truthfulness of this book. If you pray in faith, believing that you will receive an answer, you will feel of the love of your Savior. You too can find true and everlasting happiness through the Atonement, and the love of Christ. It is the most precious gift I possess, and I want you to have it too.

Love,

Your Sister

Today was my baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was one of the greatest days of my life. I felt the Holy Spirit so greatly that I wish these feelings would last forever. God has truly blessed me in so many ways. He has answered my prayers and led me to the true church of Christ. He has blessed me with a wonderful family, and terrific friends, and church members who have given me nothing but love and support. I’m so thankful for Jesus Christ and the Atonement. I look forward to the day when we will be heirs to the Kingdom of God, with our Savior and brother Jesus Christ. I love Him with all my heart and I know He loves and watches over me.

These are the feeling I felt the day I was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I hope you find these words encouraging and uplifting and I hope you find the desire to read the Book of Mormon and ask God if it is true. I know with all my heart that he will answer your prayers, and manifest to you the truth of His teachings. May God bless you and be with you always.

I am a 20-year old young man currently serving a mission for my church in Hong Kong. I left my family over 7 months ago and will be gone for a total of 2 years. As a missionary, we have the opportunity to share The Book of Mormon daily! What a blessing it is because I KNOW that it is true. The way I know of its truthfulness is because I have read it, cover to cover, and I have prayed. And through the power of the Holy Ghost I know that it is true! You can know for yourself. I am not asking you to believe me; I am asking you to trust in God.

In the last book of the Book of Mormon, there is a prophet named Moroni, and in chapter 10 versus 3-5, he gives us a promise that if we read this book, ponder about its teachings, and ask God the Eternal Father in the name of Christ, we can know ourselves this book is true.

Now it’s up to you if you want to figure out if this book is true. If you do as Moroni directs, you will get your answer, and you will have the opportunity to feel the love of your Savior Jesus Christ. I know this book is true, and through the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can all return to live with God and have eternal happiness!

Love,

Your Brother

I am so glad when someone chooses to pick up The Book of Mormon, because when they do, they have just made the best decision of their life!!! The Book of Mormon means everything to me. Through this book you can find peace, happiness, answers, and the love of our Eternal Heavenly Father. It may seem hard to believe, but it is true.

I’m sure you have had some hard times in your life, and may feel like nothing as small as a book could change your life now. However, this is not an ordinary book. The Book of Mormon contains the true and everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ. He knows everything about you and loves you endlessly. He knows the mistakes you have made, and the suffering you might be going through, and this book is exactly for that purpose—to heal our wounds and fill us with His love.

I know, without a doubt, if you read The Book of Mormon with a sincere desire to know if it can fill you with his love, the Holy Ghost will bear witness to your heart that it is true. I am so grateful for this book in my life, and the peace having the Savior in my life brings. I know He lives and that His atonement is real. There is not one thing he can’t help us with if we will come to him. I have felt His redeeming power in my own life. I am so grateful that we have this testament of Jesus Christ, along with the Bible, to help guide us in our lives. I know this to be true, and pray that you may also feel of its power and truthfulness.

Your Brother
