Elder Callister tells us the story of his grandfather who picked-up a copy of the Book of Mormon and said that the book must either be of God or of the devil, and he was going to find out which. He read the book through twice in 10 days and declared that the devil couldn't have written it.
E. Callister says that as we think about the bible and how many churches there are we see that each of those churches is an interpretation of the Bible and that each of those churches or interpretations can be represented by a line through a point. That point represents the Bible. There can be infinite number of lines through that same point. But once you add a second witness, like the Book of Mormon, there can only be one line drawn from one to the other.
I very much appreciated his testimony of the Book of Mormon and am grateful to be able to study it each day with my wife and family.
As I listened I thought of at least one friend with which I could share the Book of Mormon and this talk.
The other thought that occurred as I've been writing this is that the Prophet, President Monson has also added his witness on this topic recently, especially about how the if the Book of Mormon is true then so is Joseph Smith and the church he established.
