A Prophet Testifies

President Joseph Fielding Smith

"I started to read the Book of Mormon before I was old enough to be a deacon, and I have been reading it ever since, and I know that it is true. …

"… It seems to me that any member of this Church would never be satisfied until he or she had read the Book of Mormon time and time again, and thoroughly considered it so that he or she could bear witness that it is in very deed a record with the inspiration of the Almighty upon it, and that its history is true."

President Joseph Fielding Smith (1876–1972), in Conference Report, Oct. 1961, 18.
