Uplifting, inspiring, brilliant

Brilliant work that makes concepts some believe to be unexplainable mysteries so clear and even easy to understand. The book is a treasure and everyone should read it if they want to better understand the purpose of life.

The fact that this book excites the rage of anti-mormons--I...

I would recommend it to others.

Basically this book outlines basic LDS doctrines and supplies...

This is his defintive work. It is one of the only books Mormon Missionaries are allowed to read while they are serving their 1.5 or 2 year missions. The book discusses Mormon beliefs from marriage to temples to what Mormons believe about Heaven and...
