If you are like many people, you've seen those missionaries going around with name tags, and asking people if they believe in Jesus Christ. Maybe you've seen a play about it, or maybe you've cried while watching those sappy straight-to-the-heart video shorts about making time for family. Maybe you've seen people get all dressed up on a Sunday, and you wonder why anyone would go to church for three hours straight-- every week.
Everything hinges on one thing: Is it true?
This is the question, but how to find the answer? In an all important matter like this, (because let's face it, anything that is going to mean a radical change of your perspective on life IS all important), there really is only one sure way to find out.
You have to find out for yourself.
But how do you do that? You have to test it out for yourself-- which means you need to conduct an experiment. And like any great experiment, you need to prepare yourself for what you may find.
Things you need:
1. The Book of Mormon. Don't have a copy? Ask for one from the missionaries: https://www.mormon.org/eng
2. Something to take notes with. Go old school with pen and paper, or make a blog or Google doc.
3. A time & a place to read.

So, are you ready to find out if it's true?
Here are the three things to do to find out if the Book of Mormon is true:
1. Read it-- for yourself. A little here, a little there....or in one big, super-fast, speed round.
2. While reading it, try keeping a list of what it teaches. Write down your thoughts about it.
3. Pray. Pray before starting it, while reading it, and when you finish it. In your prayer to God, ask Him if it's true. Ask Him to let you know-- whether it is by speaking to your heart, giving you the most wonderful peaceful feeling, or by some other means -- just some way that lets you know if it's true.
And that's it! Well, that's it for sharing how to find out if it's true or not. The actual finding out.... that's up to you.
