Having grown up in Japan where Christianity is scarce, the concept of the Bible is often a challenge to grasp, let alone having another testament of Jesus Christ. To start with, the Book of Mormon has helped me understand the purpose of life, why I even exist. It has brought me immense hope in the world full of darkness and chaos that there is a God, and that this mortal life is a time of preparation to meet Him. Every word contained in this book points to Jesus Christ as our Savior and our ultimate source of life, light, and hope to become closer to God and to return to His presence one day.
