“The Things Which Shall Be Written out of the Book Shall Be of Great Worth”

Bryan Richards

Can one estimate the importance of the Book of Mormon to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Joseph Smith exclaimed that it was the keystone of our religion but it is more than that. It is the voice from the dust, the proof of the Bible's divinity, the best of all missionary tools, the only extant history of the early Americas, the doctrinal peacemaker, and the secret weapon in the fight against the powers of Satan in the last days. As Nephi exclaimed it shall be of great worth unto the children of men. Those who are seeking to come unto Christ are the ones who will recognize the priceless gift of the Book of Mormon, for "a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 194)
