| The
Book of Mormon goes hand in hand with the Bible to help all people
know that Jesus is the Christ. You can know
more about this by going to the official web site for the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This site or its ring member sites
is in no way an official representation of the Church.
Well
here is a RING that emphasizes the points of our regard for this
sacred Book of scripture that has been saved for us in these the
last days as a TESTAMENT that JESUS really is the CHRIST and only
by HIM can we find hope for SALVATION. See the quotes below.
SOME
INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THE BOOK OF MORMON:
EZRA TAFT BENSON, a Prophet of the Lord said, "The Book
of Mormon has not been, nor is yet, the center of our personal study,
family teaching, preaching, and missionary work. of this we must
repent. " (Ensign, May 1986, pp.5-6)

R. Holland said: "Aristotle.. [said] that a good book must
have a calculated structure and development which gives a unified
impact from beginning to end. By this standard the Book of Mormon
is not only a "good book"; it is a classic. In spite of
the fact that it is written by a series of prophets who had different
styles and different experiences, in spite of the fact that it has
some unabridged materials mixed with others that have been greatly
condensed, in spite of the fact that it has unique and irregular
chronological sequences, it is a classic book--Aristotle's kind
of book: unified, whole, verses fitting with verses, chapters fitting
with chapters, books fitting with books. It has these ideal qualities
because it is the clear, compelling word of God, revealed through
his chosen prophets." (Ensign, Sept. 1976,p.8)
Hugh Nibley said: "Just as the New Testament clarified
the long misunderstood message of the Old, so the Book of Mormon...reiterate[s]
the messages of both testaments in a way that restores their full
meaning." (OAT,p.77)
