Thought

Nobody can prove that the Book of Mormon is true. There is no solid evidence, nothing to show that it is real. It cannot be logically explained (in terms of the world's logic). In order to know that the Book of Mormon is true, one must read it. Read it, with a desire to know whether it is true. Read it with an open heart. Read it with a willingness to accept it if it is true. And then you must pray to know whether the Book of Mormon is what it has been claimed to be. Given that Heavenly Father answers all prayers, this prayer will be answered. And it is nothing but the witness of the Spirit that will tell you to your heart and soul whether the Book of Mormon is true, whether Joseph Smith was a prophet, whether the LDS church is indeed the true church of Jesus Christ. Missionaries cannot prove it. Higher authorities in the church cannot prove it. It must be learned for one's self.
