God’s Fingerprints Are All Over The Book of Mormon

Tad R. Callister’s talk entitled, God’s Compelling Witness: The Book of Mormon, was the kind of talk that made me want to stand up and yell, “Amen!” It was truly one of the most powerful witnesses of the Book of Mormon that I’ve heard.

Elder Callister gave a similarly powerful talk in the October 2011 General Conference, which was an answer to my personal prayer, as I had been for four months seeking an additional witness of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.

Revelation not Brilliance

“…why was Joseph the only one in the 1,800 years following Christ’s ministry to produce such a breadth of unique and clarifying doctrines? Because it was revelation, not brilliance, that was the source of this book.”

Defender of Truth
