The Book of Mormon

"And now, my beloved brethren, if this be the case that these things are true which I have spoken unto you, and God will show unto you, with power and great glory at the last day, that they are true, and if they are true has the day of miracles ceased?
Or have angels ceased to appear unto the children of men? Or has he withheld the power of the Holy Ghost from them? Or will he, so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand, or there shall be one man upon the face thereof to be saved?
Behold I say unto you, Nay..." --Moroni 7:35-37

God is the God of all miracles. He loves His children and has provided a way for us to be happy. God has once again opened the heavens and poured out His love!!! In the midst of the confusion, he has sent us both spiritual and physical evidence. This evidence is found in The Book of Mormon. You can hold it in your hands! You can read it! The Book of Mormon is a volume of ancient scripture written by holy prophets who came from Jerusalem to the Americas in 600 B.C. It tells of their joys, trials, lives, and most of all, their faith in Jesus Christ. This record was preserved and hidden for generations. After a period of spiritual darkness and confusion, God again reached out His hand to His children. He called a man by the name of Joseph Smith, to be a prophet and gave him the authority to act in the name of God and establish Jesus Christ's church on the earth. Jospeph Smith was able to translate the ancient record, the Book of Mormon by the power of the Holy Ghost. It stands today as a testimony that Jesus is the Christ and that God still performs miracles among the children of men!
