Introduction to the Book of Mormon Part 1

A source for anyone wanting to better understand Mormonism and Christianity.
Having been an active Mormon for sixty years, Danny is fully aware of the heart and mind of those who are convinced the gospel of Joseph Smith is true.  Fortunately through scripture study, prayer, and the Holy Spirit, God opened his eyes and understanding, and brought him into a loving, saving, relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ.
“It originated from an experience I had a couple of years go, when two Mormon missionaries visited my home.  They came with the intention of encouraging me to return to activity in the LDS Church.  As I turned their attention to the Bible for the reasons I found Mormonism to be different from the gospel of Jesus Christ, they were amazed at what they read and learned.  Within the same week they returned to my home unannounced to ask me to teach them more.  I was spiritually touched and overwhelmed by the honesty and humility they showed in their sincere desire to know truth.  It made me realize that these respectful and open conversations between Christians and Mormons are quite possible.”
