The Book Of Mormon Is The Word Of God — Elder Holland's Testimony
Have you quietly started to wonder whether the Book of Mormon is actually true — not as a critic on the outside, but as someone already inside who has begun to doubt? In this video Elder Jeffrey R. Holland makes the case he made under oath, in his own voice, and leaves you with a verdict you can test for yourself.
In this video, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland bears his witness that the Book of Mormon is true — pointing to the book Hyrum Smith carried to Carthage, the men who died rather than recant it, and the one line that closes every exit.

I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
But there is one kind of latter-day destruction that has always sounded to me more personal than public, more individual than collective—a warning, perhaps more applicable inside the Church than outside it. The Savior warned that in the last days even those of the covenant, the very elect, could be deceived by the enemy of truth.
Brothers and sisters, God always provides safety for the soul, and with the Book of Mormon, He has again done that in our time. Remember this declaration by Jesus Himself: “Whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived”—and in the last days neither your heart nor your faith will fail you. Of this I earnestly testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
