ANECDOTE

Movie Depiction of Loss

The movie Witnesses effectively portrays Martin Harris's despair after losing the manuscript.
It captures the moment he confesses, "I've lost my soul."

INSIGHT

Intellectual vs. Spiritual Witness

Intellectual evidence alone won't change hearts.
Spiritual witnesses, through the Holy Ghost, create lasting conviction.

ADVICE

What-If Exercise

Consider the possibility of the Book of Mormon's truthfulness.
Study it seriously and ask God if it's right.
