I'd adding on to olliebob's review: It is also written by other prophets, like Alma, Helaman, Mosiah, Enos, Jacob, and Mormon. These are the teachings and the words of their lives, their struggles, the miracles in their life, and their communication with God. It is what is happening in the Americas while Christ is on the other side of the world. It's another testament of Jesus Christ.

Also, it was not written by Joseph Smith. It was translated by him. It would be great if you could fix that.

The Book of Mormon is the best book there is! Lehi is told by God that his family must leave Jerusalum. He tells the people of Jerusalum that they must leave, for the city will be destroyed. Nobody listens to him. Lehi's family journey in the wilderness, away from Jerusalum. Lehi is told by God that they must return to Jerusalum to retrieve the brass plates. His sons, Laman, Lemuel, Nephi, and Sam go back to Jerusalum to get the plates of brass. They are delivered out of the hands of Laban by God. They journey further into the wilderness, in search of the promised land. They find the Liahona, a certain compass sort of thing. When they are being righteous, it works. When they are murmuring and dwindle in unbelief, it does not work. Laman and Lemuel murmur the most. They do not believe in the power of God, even though it has been shown to them many times. Nephi is commanded to build a ship by God, to sail to the promised land. You'll have to read the book (or go to the LDS church) to find out the rest. Note: This review does not do justice to the actual book. It is the most true story there ever was. I highly recommend you read it and follow it's teachings. They will bless your life. They blessed mine.
