Many people are Latter Day Saints or in a more slang, everyday language are called Mormons. Throughout the world, they worship Jesus Christ as their leader and also look up to a prophet who is located in Utah and oversees the whole church worldwide. Reading the first edition Book of Mormon is unusual. Usually, the latest edition is read.
Mormons typically read Scriptures every day. It gives them a boost when life gets them down. They are usually committed to this daily habit if they are devout and loyal. It is recommended by the Church to do this. Life can get hard at times so rest assured that you can get guidance. Mormons feel that this is the way that they get guidance.
Prayer is also a good way to commune with God. If you do not get answers to your questions that way, fasting is always an option. Fasting is a sacrifice that you make with food to commune with God. It helps you connect to this Higher Power when things get rough. Even if you feel that God is not answering your prayers, He or She may be answering them anyway, but on a different time table than yours.
A Higher Power may be intervening more than we realize. It is important to remember that. They are not where we are as far as the same plane of existence so we must be patient and hope that help is being granted. It is necessary to keep having faith despite how things are going in our life.
Joseph Smith was the originator of the Book of Mormon and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was quite a man who withstood so many trials in order to establish what has been known as God's church. He translated the entire Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. He did this with Oliver Cowdery along with God's direction and wisdom.
Many Mormons were murdered during this time. They were treated so poorly because many people did not understand them. Evil does not like the presence of good. The mobs tarred and feathered Joseph Smith. They wanted to humiliate him and make him feel bad for the good that he was doing. They may have also felt jealous of him.
It can be quite daunting to think of what must be required to lead something when many people around you do not understand what you are doing so they become bitter and unkind. It takes great courage to be a leader under such circumstances. Other leaders have undergone such treatment. Some have been martyred and others have not.
The First Edition Book of Mormon or any version is good to read. Even if you are not of the Mormon faith, it is good to explore other religions to see what you think and to learn more about how others see a Higher Power. Take what you can from this book and apply it your life if you see anything worthwhile in it.
