Book of Mormon Central is in the process of migrating to our new Scripture Central website.
We ask for your patience during this transition. Over the coming weeks, all pages of bookofmormoncentral.org will be redirected to their corresponding page on scripturecentral.org, resulting in minimal disruption.
The law of the Lord is given in D&C 42, and it is to love God and love your neighbor. We are encouraged to give of our time and temporal means to relieve the suffering of others.
It is not a law governing ownership but one that asks us what we are willing to do with what we have.

In New York City the Church leased huge signs in Times Square urging, "Now that you've seen the play, read the book!" Editoroials and articles in newspapers and other media throughout the world comment on the good-natured attitude taken by LDS people and compare it to opposite reactions from others to criticism and derision.

Starting on April 7th, 1829, Joseph Smith began translating the Book of Mormon. He completed his translation on July 1st of that year—just 90 days! That makes for an average of about 8 pages per day.
