Just like God spoke to Moses and Noah in the Bible, He also instructed His prophets in the Americas to keep a record of His teachings and laws. Their writings were eventually gathered into one book by a prophet named Mormon. This book of scripture is called the Book of Mormon. In it we read about Jesus’s life, ministry, and His act of saving us from sin and overcoming death. In fact, the highlight of the Book of Mormon is when Jesus came to visit the people in the ancient Am...ericas. The Book of Mormon will change your life. In it you will find answers to many of life's questions such as: Is there life after death? What’s waiting for us on the other side? What is the purpose of life? How can I find happiness and peace now? Does God know me and hear my prayers? If you’ve read the Book of Mormon what has it done for you? If you haven’t read it and would like to, message us and we’ll get you a free copy today.
