I believe what Joseph Smith’s account of what happened. I believe the statements of the witnesses to the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. Beyond that though, I’ve read this book. I’ve made it a matter of personal prayer. I make it a point to read and study it every day and what I can tell you is that my witness of the truthfulness of both the book and the account of its coming forth comes to me in a personal, real way through the Holy Ghost, the Spirit. I cannot deny this witness. I wouldn’t deny it under any circumstance.
