Book of Mormon
“There is a power in the book [of Mormon] which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path. The scriptures are called ‘the words of life’, and nowhere is that more true than it is of the Book of Mormon. When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance.”
-Ezra Taft Benson
“Few men on earth, either in or out of the Church, have caught the vision of what the Book of Mormon is all about. Few are they among men who know the part it has played and will yet play in preparing the way for the coming of Him of whom it is a new witness. … The Book of Mormon shall so affect men that the whole earth and all its peoples will have been influenced and governed by it. … There is no greater issue ever to confront mankind in modern times than this: Is the Book of Mormon the mind and will and voice of God to all men?”
– Bruce R. McConkie
“The Book of Mormon is the ‘keystone’ of our religion, and the Doctrine and Covenants is the capstone, with continuing revelation. The Lord has placed his stamp of approval on both the keystone and the capstone.”
– Ezra Taft Benson
“The time is long overdue for a massive flooding of the earth with the Book of Mormon for the many reasons which the Lord has given. In this age of electronic media and mass distribution of the printed word, God will hold us accountable if we do not now move the Book of Mormon in a monumental way.”
– Ezra Taft Benson
“I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”
– Joseph Smith
“No member of the Church can stand approved in the presence of God who has not seriously and carefully read the Book of Mormon.”
– Joseph Fielding Smith
“We do not have to prove the Book of Mormon is true. The book is its own proof. All we need to do is read it and declare it. The Book of Mormon is not on trial – the people of the world, including the members of the Church, are on trial as to what they will do with this sacred witness of Christ.”
– Ezra Taft Benson
“The Book of Mormon brings men to Christ. The Doctrine of Covenants brings men to Christ’s kingdom.”
– Ezra Taft Benson
“No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.”
– George Cannon
