Truth Be Told

Truth be Told is an amazing account of the visions, faith and doctrine of the early church.  The author calls it An Interesting Account of Several Remarkable Visions, and of the late discovery of ancient American records.  Initially published for missionaries, Orson Pratt recounts several early church events, including the story of Joseph Smith, the first vision, Angel Moroni's visit to the boy prophet, and the translation of the Book of Mormon.  Included in this work is the story by Oliver Cowdery regarding Joseph's receiving the gold plates and translation of the Book of Mormon.

In this book you will learn in greater detail the design, make-up and construction of the stone box built by Moroni to conceal the plates and how the plates were preserved to come forth in this day.  You will discover the location where Joseph found the gold plates in the Hill Cumorah and how Moroni used the hill's layout to his advantage to keep the plates hidden until Joseph's day.

This book also includes the testimony of the three and eight witnesses as recorded in the Book of Mormon, along with a brief account of the restoration of the priesthood and baptism of Joseph and Oliver.

It's a remarkable and enlightening writing by Orson Pratt and a well-deserved addition to any LDS collection.
