"When I first read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover, I read the promise that if I “would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if [the things I had read were] true; and if [I would] ask with a sincere heart..."

"...with real intent, having faith in Christ, he [would] manifest the truth of it unto [me], by the power of the Holy Ghost” (Moro. 10:4). I tried to follow those instructions, as I understood them."
#DezNat

"If I expected a glorious manifestation to come at once as an overpowering experience, it did not happen. Nevertheless, it felt good, and I began to believe."
#DezNat

“By the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things” Moroni 10:5
#DezNat

“If ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do” (2 Ne. 32:5).
#DezNat

"When I understood that the Holy Ghost could communicate through our feelings, I understood why the words of Christ...carried such a good feeling. In time, I found that the scriptures had answers to things I needed to know."
#DezNat

"I learned that anyone, anywhere, could read in the Book of Mormon and receive inspiration."
#DezNat

“And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me..."

"...for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them”"
Ether 12:27

"My experience has been that a testimony does not burst upon us suddenly. Rather it grows, as Alma said, from a seed of faith. “It will strengthen your faith: for ye will say I know that this is a good seed; for behold it sprouteth and beginneth to grow”
#DezNat

"You can be sure that the Lord can, and at times does, manifest Himself with power and great glory. Miracles can occur."
#DezNat

“we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins” (2 Ne. 25:26).
#DezNat

"From the Book of Mormon we learn about:
-The plan of salvation or “the great plan of happiness”
-The doctrine of Christ and the Atonement
-Why death is necessary
-Life after death in the spirit world.
-The workings of the evil one
-The order of the priesthood
...

"...-Sacramental prayers
-A sure way to judge between good and evil
-How to retain a remission of your sins
-Clear, prophetic warnings and many, many other things pertaining to the redemption of man and to our lives. All are parts of the fulness of the gospel"
#DezNat

"We do not have to defend the Prophet Joseph Smith. The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ will defend him for us. Those who reject Joseph Smith as a prophet and revelator are left to find some other explanation for the Book of Mormon....

"...And for the second powerful defense: the Doctrine and Covenants, and a third: the Pearl of Great Price. Published in combination, these scriptures form an unshakable testament that Jesus is the Christ and a witness that Joseph Smith is a prophet."
Boyd K Packer
