"All of us feel, in our best moments, a desire to return home to live with God. He gave us the gift of His Beloved Son as our Savior to provide the path and to teach us how to follow it. He gave us prophets to point the way. The Prophet Joseph Smith was inspired to translate the record of prophets that is the Book of Mormon. It is our sure guide on the way home to God.
"The Book of Mormon--
"gives us the Savior's example to increase our faith and determination to obey Him . . .
"is filled with the doctrine of Christ to guide us . . .
"makes plain that we must receive the Holy Ghost. . . to help us stay on the strait and narrow path . . .
"makes plain . . .what it means to have a love of God and all men . . .
"gives us confidence that we can become so purified in this life that we have no more desire to do evil. . .
"I pray that we and all those we love will drink deeply and daily from it."
Henry B. Eyring, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
