BOOK OF MORMON INVESTIGATION
for Left-brained Seekers of Truth  

People differ in the way they process truth before gaining confirmation from the Spirit. Some are blest with the simple faith that yields answers for the asking. Others must spend considerable time studying and pondering and even analyzing before gaining their testimony. Here you will find a collection of many of the best tools and summary of  evidence to decide for yourself if The Book of Mormon is true and of God. The Book of Mormon Computer  Marking Project builds on a remarkable promise by Elder Bruce R. McConkie before the proliferation of personal computers. Part of the project includes the color coding of the entire Book of Mormon in twelve topical categories. This multi-faceted approach to using a personal computer to build testimony, enrich understanding, and apply the teachings to personal and family challenges was referred to in the article "Taking the Challenge" in the December 2006 issue of the Ensign Magazine (page 16 – "Making it mine.")

"MORMONISM" IS BOTH CHRISTIAN AND BIBLICAL. 

Critics of the Church are charging that we Mormons are not Christian and that we do not follow the Bible as they understand it. This paper not only answers the question with references from the Bible but also refers to a test that Christ himself gave in the Sermon on the Mount for discriminating true from false prophets – "Ye shall know them by their  fruits." (Matthew  7:16)

KEEP WHICH COMMANDMENTS?

The Lord promised the Latter-day Saints that they would be blessed with “commandments not a few” –  and were given over 100 of them. The original Ten Commandments – the "Decalogue" – is but a primer to the commandments the Lord expects his faithful to keep. Which of the Lord’s instructions can be considered commandments, and how can we remember and obey so many?

"HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT:  The promises of the Lord apply to every human need"  
(Download in 3 parts - links below) 
Learn what the Lord has to say about how to be happy – healthy – rich – intelligent – attractive – strong – loved and loving – well fed – free – at peace – a leader – and perfect!

That's right. You are promised all that and more, assuming you are willing to abide by the principles upon which these blessings are predicated. Of course, the Lord's way of rewarding you may be different than that of the world. You can download (in 3 parts) and print this series of "one-page" books for quick reading of inspired wisdom. You can then take the set to your local copy shop, make copies on nice paper, bind them with heavy covers (spiral or velo bind), and send them out as gifts to those you care about. But you must not sell them. (Each part includes pictorial graphics, so please be patient while downloading.)
Part 1: How to Get What You Want – How to Be Healthy – How to Get Rich – How to Be Intelligent – How to Look Good – How to Love and Be Loved
Part 2: How to Be Happy – How to Feast Fully – How to Know Truth – How to Make Decisions – How to Be a Leader – How to Be Strong
Part 3: How to Have Peace of Mind – How to Be Free – How to Make a Lasting Contribution – How to Get Elected – How to Achieve the Ultimate – How to Be Perfect

Here are two true personal experiences that illustrate how literally the promises of the Lord can be fulfilled on our behalf.

      All Flesh Is in His Hands - even this Hornet
