4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. Moroni 10:4-5

Day 6

Read: 1 Nephi 13-14

Mark: 1 Nephi 14:14

“This great American nation the Almighty raised up by the power of his omnipotent hand, that it might be possible in the latter days for the kingdom of God to be established in the earth.”
~ President Joseph F. Smith

Nephi saw that “other books” would come forth through the gentiles. What important things would the “other books” do? What are those “other books”?

*I believe the "other books" that are spoken about are the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price and the Doctrine and Covenants.
*The Bible that we know today has had many plain and precious things taken from it. It is very conflicting at times and not always easy to understand. The "other books" fill in the blanks. If I believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet (I do) then I have to believe he translated the Book of Mormon. (I do) I think it goes without saying that any other scriptures he or prophets that came after him helped bring to fruition are from God also.
