I know the Book of Mormon to be true because I have taken Moroni’s promise and I felt the Holy Ghost’s assurance that it was true words of prophets of God. I’m a convert to the church and when I was investigation the church I was invited by the missionaries to read selections from the Book of Mormon and then pray to ask God if they were truly his words. When I did I felt a calm warm sensation come over me. It was a feeling of peace. This assurance is what gave me the faith to investigate further and eventually get baptized. I would say the real converting power of the Book of Mormon is the change it brings about in the person reading it. I have noticed in my life, that as I read the Book of Mormon I am getting closer to my Father in heaven and to Jesus Christ. As Joseph Smith says in the introduction to the Book of Mormon, “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.” I have seen that to be true in my life. As I follow the principles in the Book of Mormon I am getting closer to God. I also feel the spirit with me a lot more when I live the principles found in that book.
