“The Book of Mormon is the greatest book in the world.”
Thus speaks Ezra Taft Benson, the thirteenth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Across the world and throughout the Church is an increasing number of both boys and girls, men and women, who are not only coming to Christ but growing in Christ through this key to conversion—the Book of Mormon.
It was the Prophet Joseph Smith who said “that the Book of Mormon was the most correct book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than any other book.” (History of the Church, 4:462.)
Today’s prophet of God affirms Joseph’s testimony and adds his own that the Book of Mormon was meant for us, here and now, and that we should daily sup from its pages and make the study of it a lifetime pursuit.
“The Book of Mormon has not been nor is it yet, the center of our personal study, family teaching, preaching, and missionary work. Of this we must repent,” President Benson declares.
Because the whole Church, even all the Children of Zion, are under condemnation as a result of treating the Book of Mormon lightly (D$C 84:54-58), the Lord has inspired His servant President Benson to move this book today in a marvelous manner.
This volume, A Witness and a Warning, opens with President Benson’s powerful and profound message, “The Book of Mormon Is the Word of God.” Other landmark messages include “Born of God,” “The Keystone and the Capstone,” “Worthy Fathers, Worthy Sons,” and “Cleansing the Inner Vessel.”
In A Witness and a Warning, President Ezra Taft Benson testifies of the Book of Mormon’s witness and declares its voice of warning.
