The Savior’s Testimony of the Book of Mormon

At a recent session of Stake Conference, the mission president’s wife pointed out that none other than Jesus Christ himself bore powerful testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. The Lord said, speaking of the prophet Joseph:

And he has translated the book, even that part which I have commanded him, and as your Lord and your God liveth it is true. (D&C 17:6)
