The author, a former Mission President, has collected materials from a wide variety of sources to present unshakable evidences of the truthfulness of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The evidences he presents begin with an insightful explanation of the role and mission of Jesus Christ, covering not only the nature of God but a meaningful explanation of the fall of Adam, the atonement performed by Jesus, his crucifixion, and the essential ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ. His second area of evidences center in the Bible, and he focuses on numerous biblical scriptures that support LDS doctrine and temple work, and ends by identifying 17 characteristics which identify the true church of Jesus Christ. Then he moves beyond typical missionary sources, pointing out 26 areas where the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Codices have unique correlations with Latter-day Saint scriptures and teachings. He explains the great apostasy, and points out six significant events through which God prepared the way for the restoration of His Church in these latter days. He focuses on Joseph Smith and the many roles he played, and shows many correlations of history and archaeology which confirm the validity of the Book of Mormon. He speaks of LDS Temples, of latter-day miracles, and the rich blessings which the Saints are promised when they accept and live the Gospel. He shows the proofs found in the correct application of logic, then ends by instructing how the Holy Ghost provides the ultimate witness of the truthfulness of the Church. One of the most significant values of this thought-provoking book is the extensive documentation the author provides, giving detailed sources on many hard-to-locate events in early Church history and in numerous non-LDS sources.
