The Book of Mormon
Records from the Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is another witness of Jesus Christ. It contains the writings of ancient prophets. One of these, named Lehi, lived in Jerusalem in about 600 B.C. God commanded Lehi to lead a small group of people to the American continent. There they became a great civilization.

God continued to call prophets among these people. The Book of Mormon is a collection of their writings. It is named after Mormon, one of the last of these ancient prophets.

These prophets knew about Heavenly Father’s plan for His children and the mission of Jesus Christ. They recorded that Christ appeared after His Resurrection to the people in America, taught them His gospel, and established His Church among them.
