"The Book of Mormon contains messages that were divinely placed there to show how to correct the influence of false tradition and how to receive a fulness of life. It teaches how to resolve the problems and challenges that we face today. … [The Lord] has provided the way to correct the serious errors of life, but this guidance is of no value if it remains locked in a closed book."
Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "True Friends That Lift," Ensign, Nov. 1988, 76.
