The Book of Mormon is another amazing witness that our Heavenly Father has given us to help us to become closer to him. However it is very misunderstood by most people in the world today, they don't fully understand where it came from or what its purpose is, which is sad because it true is a great volume of scripture that God has given to us to bring us closer to Him.
The Book of Mormon is a record of a ancient people, it starts out in Jerusalem around the time of six hundred year before Christ just before the fall of Jerusalem, with a man by the name of Lehi. Who was a Prophet trying to cry repentance to the people. Lehi was warned by the lord that he need to take his family and leave, because wicked people were trying to take his life. The Book of Mormon includes their journey as they traveled through the wildness by the borders of the Red Sea and how they sailed on a ship to the land which is today known as the Americas, and also contains their record of their time spend on the Americas, (promised land), as it is called in the Book of Mormon until around the year four hundred A.D. The Book of Mormon contains many great story of faith and people following the lord, and it is similar to the Bible in the fact that it contains the write of Prophet as they received revelation from the Lord, giving it many of the same teaching that are found in the Bible, but they are written in different ways which help us to gain a greater understanding of the teachings. The record of the Book of Mormon ends as I stated before around the year of four hundred A.D., because the people at that time were very wick and sought to destroy the record so a man by the name of Moroni was told by the Lord to go and hide the plates in the earth and when the time was right the Lord would bring them forth again.
The Book of Mormon is a amazing record that the lord has give to us to help us through this life, and to bring us closer to our Savior. It is also important to remember however that we in no way discount the bible, it is also scripture and we hold it dear to our hearts because it contains the record of Christ's life here upon the earth and his teaching while he was here, and many other record through the history of the earth. We hold these two records hand in hand as our Heavenly Father would have it, as it is stated in (Ezekiel 37:16-17). That they may become one in our hand in helping us to learn more about out Savior's teachings and the life that he lived.

He did not write the record call the Book of Mormon, but he translated the record which at the time was in a form of ancient Egyptian into English.
