Summary: Wrong
Review: Unsupported, contradtroy, please don't waste your money. Try the Bible (any non NWT or JST) for some good non-fiction and Pilgrams Progress for some good fiction. Please I beg you.

Summary: Spiritual Masterpiece
Review: I have read this book numerous times, and each time I get the same distinct impression. . . It is of God! From the hand of his Prophet Joseph Smith, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ brought forth these cannon of scripture as "Another Testament" of his divine mission and plan. One cannot help but feel the spirit of the Lord as they search the pages of this inspired book of scripture. Read this book, pray about it's truth, and you to will know it's given to us by Jesus. (see Moroni 10:3-5)

Summary: An inspiration!
Review: Truly this book has words for today in it. I picked it up and couldn't put it down! I'm sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that there must be something in this book that makes people who fight against it so afraid they want to crush it....truth. Those who seek to destroy have always tried to bring down that which threatens their security.Read the book!

Summary: Just title it "Latter-Day Saint Communism"
Review: Nothing sarastic about this title. The book and the religion put together are nothing more than a cheap set up for a mini-communism. This pathetic attempt at passing for a "christian" religion did little more than show me their "God" hated blacks and women (I am both). The book is filled with references to Native Americans being dark as "filthy" and "loathesome", which shows just what attitude Joseph Smith had towards them. Doing private research I found proof this book is a work of fiction. NOTHING IN IT IS SUPPORTED BY CURRENT ARCHEOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE. However, the church delivers sappy commercials and a wealthy image promising people happiness it cannot deliver, so many people join, although most people become inactive almost immediately. To non-mormons and doubters, do your research right here on the net. To current devout Mormons, sorry, you're being misled, and the warm fuzzy feeling in your heart is a feeling anyone can make themselves feel (ie, it's all in your mind). This church nearly destroyed me with it's crazy doctrines and I'm only glad I got out. Book of Mormon? More like "Book of Unsubtantiated Fantasies".

Summary: THE BOOK OF MORMON AND THE BIBLE ARE THE 2 MOST INFLUENTIAL
Review: ---BOOKS IN MY LIFE ! I love Christ and his teachings. I highly recommend both! But since this review is specifically about The Book of Mormon, I must give it 5 stars. I would give it 10 stars if I could. --George Stancliffe

Summary: A Tool...
Review: Just like all religious texts, this one is a tool. Not a tool to bash into people's heads...nor a tool to look over to sharply. It may help you...it may not. It may be your "Bible"...it may be your "Archie Comic," either way it means something to someone. So don't bring up any religious dogma to a book review.
The idea presented in this book is simple...one idea that trancends all things: love eachother. That's all you need to know. Everything else just highlights the point...sorry if I gave away the ending.:) The Book of Mormon = A tool
Does it need to be anything else?

Summary: A guide for the misled
Review: This book is just what my title says. Anyone who does a bit of research and is just a little bit critical will come to this conclusion: This book is made up. Fantasy. Never happened. Even if you consider this a fictional story,it is still illogical, self-righteous and irritanting (just like the Mormon Church itself) I think it's strange amazon publishes this kind of dangerous cultist-book. There ist no enlightement within this book, in fact if you start to believe the content (again fantasy; you could also believe Lord of the Rings is true, which probably would be less harmful to yourself) it
will throw you into a world of weird rules, fake ideology and denial. Do not read this book.

Summary: Still undecided on this one.
Review: I have to laugh as I read the 'did you find this review helpful' scores after all of the reviews. Most reviews of this book, not surprisingly, seem to fall on one end of the spectrum or the other and apparently the anti LDS have been more aggresive in expressing their dislike of the pro LDS reviews than vice versa. To reveal my own bias. I am LDS by record, but don't attend meetings and disagree with the church on many points of doctrine. I am what most members would probably label apostate. I read The Book of Mormon for the first time about 7 yrs ago and decided to take the infamous 'Moroni's' challenge. Well, I can tell you that I did experience feelings more powerful than I ever before had in my life. I really felt that God wanted me to put my life in order and spread the word about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I served a two year mission for the church and eventually became a teacher in the church's missionary training center. As a missionary I never really delved into the historicity of The Book of Mormon, only the principles that it teaches and how to apply those principles to our lives. When I became a teacher at the missionary training center I began to do more study of the book's origins and serious questions arose in my mind regarding the issues which have already been discussed here such as the DNA of the 'Lamanites' and the replications of translation errors from the KJV Bible. In mormon terms, I guess I would define this book as more of a liahona than an iron rod. I feel that the principles it teaches are, for the most part, good and true and can lead a person closer to Christ. I do think that there are a lot of people that make completely outrageous claims against the church and its members and always will. For some one who is wanting to learn about mormonism from an unbiased source I would suggest ldsmormon.com and NOT exmormon.org, which is clearly 'anti', or lds.org, the church's official site. I give this book 4 stars because it has been a HUGE influence for good in my life. While I can't say I am convinced that the events contained therein actually took place, this book was a good introduction, for me, to the ethics and character of Christ. In my opinion, The New Testament is a greater and more important book, not only because of the clarity with which its doctrine is taught, but because it contains more of the words of Christ.

Summary: Awful Read!
Review: This book was an sad attempt by Joseph Smith to create scripture. The term "And it came to pass" was beaten to death in this volume, making you wish the ending would "come to pass." You're find people who had trouble breathing after their heads were cut off, boats with holes at the top and bottom of them with only corks to keep the water out, and a Jesus that murders over 100,000 people in order to bring the American people his Gospel of "Grace." Skip this book and get a root canal done, it would be less painful. Don't let the members of the LDS Church fool you, 99% of them only read this book when they are forced to, as in Sunday School.

Summary: BOM is a work of fiction written by a con-artist
Review: The BOM was written 2 years after Ethan Smith (no relation to Joe Smith) wrote "View of the Hebrews"... the two books are too similar for coincidence. The BOM describes a civilization for which there exists absolutely no valid archeological evidence. Joe Smith was tried and convicted as a con artist (People of State of New York v. Joseph Smith, March 20, 1826 re: money digging) Even though the BOM has been declared correct and complete, there have been thousands of changes to the book since its translation The original BOM was AUTHORED by Joe Smith; later editions were TRANSLATED by Joe Smith. So, was Joe the translator or the author? In short, the BOM is a BM.
