Church leaders have testified that the Book of Mormon was written for our day, and many of the themes and events it describes directly correlate to issues that the Saints face today as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ approaches. This book takes a detailed look at the parallels between the years leading up to Christ’s first appearance to the Nephites and Lamanites and the conditions of our own day, including themes such as:
 
  • Contentions, dissensions, and internal strife increasing among the people
  • The just laws of the land being altered by those seeking power
  • Disparity in wealth and riches leading to class distinctions
  • Corrupt leaders inspiring hatred and warfare in their pursuit of power
  • Latter-day Gadianton robbers increasing their influence over society
  • The people growing in iniquity, rebellion, hardened hearts, and unbelief
 
A thought-provoking mix of religion, politics, and current events, this study includes teachings of the latter-day prophets of God and the Founding Fathers of our nation, as well as timely discussions on constitutional principles, personal rights and freedoms, recent political controversies, societal developments, moral issues, and economic policies, all supported by numerous faith-promoting personal stories and modern-day parables that teach eternal principles. Strengthen your testimony and deepen your understanding of the coming days with this insightful discussion of the signs and conditions of the times.

This book powerfully demonstrates that the beliefs and practices of the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are in complete harmony with the scriptural record known as the Holy Bible.  Non-members will learn firsthand, from someone who has made the transition from mainstream Protestantism, about a wide range of gospel doctrines as they are embraced by the Latter-day Saints.  Members of the Church will likewise benefit, as their testimonies of the restored gospel will be strengthened and their scriptural knowledge will be enhanced by the in-depth treatment of fundamental Church doctrines from a biblical perspective.  Full-time and ward missionaries, new converts, and seminary students will find this book particularly helpful as they endeavor to increase their gospel knowledge, as well as discover the historical and scriptural validity of the restoration of Jesus Christ’s gospel and Church.

Here is what some readers have said about this book:

Every member of the church needs to know about this book. It delivers exactly what I’ve always wanted to say to my non-member and less-active friends and family. This book is the greatest non-scripture missionary resource I’ve seen in my 45+ years of missionary work.
–Stephen Davidson, longtime member

Why Would Anyone Join the Mormon Church? clearly answers many of the questions asked by sincere seekers of truth investigating The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This work presents plain and precious doctrines once lost to the children of men but since restored through latter-day prophets.
–L.D. Nicolay, counselor in Stake Presidency

It’s so good, I can hardly put it down. His conversion was so inspiring; I felt the Spirit so strong when I read it.
–June Tucker, longtime member

Excellent education for anyone learning about the gospel. That includes all of us. A “must read” for missionaries. They will be able to answer the most common questions asked by investigators.
–Andy Homewood, Ward Mission Leader
