He reminds us that although secular evidences can&#8217;t replace a spiritual witness, they can support a testimony and provide an atmosphere where a spiritual witness can flourish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit;font-size: 11px;font-family: inherit;vertical-align: baseline;border: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 0px .7em;margin: .5em 0pt .5em 0pt\">Using scholarly journal articles and ancient Jewish and Christian writings, Ash provides evidences that show how the Book of Mormon is a true account of an ancient people, how LDS scriptures are consistent with the traditions and culture of ancient Israel, and how the doctrines of the Church accurately reflect the teachings of Christ. Ash writes clearly and simply, providing numerous resources to foster further study.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: inherit;font-style: inherit;font-size: 11px;font-family: inherit;vertical-align: baseline;border: 0px;padding: 0px 0px 0px .7em;margin: .5em 0pt .5em 0pt\">With over 80 evidences, this book is an excellent resource for those seeking more information about Joseph Smith and his works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Ash.
