The Book of Mormon was vital to early Latter-day Saint religious life.[1] It also functioned as a sign to early converts that Joseph Smith was a prophet.[2] It fed the day-to-day lives of Saints who read its words, naved their children Lachonius, and borrowed bits and phrases from its passages in letters and sermons, but also served as proof to outsiders that Mormonism was true.
