Joseph Smith Jr.

Founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was born in Sharon, Vermont on December 23, 1805. He grew up in Manchester, New York. His wife was Emma. He wanted to know which church was right and prayed in a grove of trees near his house when he was 14. God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ appeared and told him not to join any of the churches. In 1821 an angel appeared to him and told him of some golden plates hidden in nearby hill. He found the plates and translated them into English. The book was published as The Book of Mormon. He was persecuted his entire life, but never denied the things he said he saw. There were other witnesses that confirm they saw the gold plates. Joseph received many revelations during the years and they are recorded in a book called The Doctrine and Covenants. He was martyred in Carthage, Illinois in June of 1844.

The Book of Mormon

The Book of Mormon is a record containing God's dealings with the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and contains, as does the Bible, the fulness of the everlasting gospel. It was translated by Joseph Smith from golden plates. It was published to the world in the year 1830. The crowning event recorded in the Book of Mormon is the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ to the people in America, soon after his resurrection and ascension into heaven.
