Subject: [TruthTalk] Book of Mormon one of top ten     Blaine:  Anyone want to buy a book?     The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ (Official Edition) by Joseph Smith (Translator) Edition: Paperback  Price: $4.99      The book speaks for itself., August 2, 2003 There have been over 440,000 copies sold through amazon.com. The Book of Mormon was recently ranked among the top ten most influential books in the history of America by Book Magazine. It is a volume of holy scripture that goes hand in hand with the Bible.. It testifies of Christ- that He lives and loves us. It is an account written by ancient prophets (just as the Bible is) yet this record is about God's dealings with people who once lived in the Americas. Why not read the book yourself to discover what is has to offer?     Blaine, there have been a lot more Bibles sold than the BoM, and it is ALREADY PROVEN to be historically accurate.  Why not read that instead? There is NO PROOF of the BoM being written by "ancient prophets"--that is fantasy.  You belief that on faith ONLY. I'm sure that there have been plenty of other "most influential" books that have not been true OR of any benefit in the eyes of God.  You seem like much too nice of a guy to spend your life believing in something so utterly unsubstantiated and so obviously fictitious.  I know it's painful to have a paradigm shift in midlife, especially if you’ve been raised in a certain mindset since childhood--but it's time, my dear.  Reading “Spiderman” comics, and believing in them, doesn’t make them true. I know you are sincere, and my heart aches for you. Izzy
