The Church video “Compelling Witness” depicts a mock trial that witnesses of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.

With a single draft completed in 65 days, Joseph Smith, an unschooled man of 23, produced a book of over 500 pages with hundreds of unique names and complex story lines.

The Book of Mormon has a persuasive enough history on its own, but you can’t prove its truth with facts alone. The case for The Book of Mormon won’t likely be won in a courtroom or a cafeteria. You can find the proof through a real desire to know and a sincere, persistent effort of asking God and listening for a reply. Then the answer comes, to the heart and mind of each individual who truly wants to know, with the testimony of the Holy Ghost as the most compelling witness of all. It’s not fiction. It’s a miracle.
