The Book of Mormon THE BOOK OF MORMON

Who, having read it [the Book of Mormon], can honestly refute its divine origin?  Critics may try to explain it away.  The harder they try the more plausible becomes the true account of its coming forth as a voice speaking from the dust.

Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley, Conference Report, April 1998, p. 4
