If the claims of Latter- day Saints about the origin of the Book of Mormon are true, then the book is genuine scripture. But if it s an invention of human origin in short, a forgery the Church s claim to be the only true church must be called into question. Surprisingly, very few writers, inside the Church or outside, have made a thorough examination of claims that the book is a forgery. In a book of interest to those of other faiths as well as to Latter- day Saints, Senator Bob Bennett reviews such claims. While he admits to writing as a believer, he identifies four objective tests that can be applied to help anyone determine if the book is what it claims to be: internal consistency, external evidence, questions of motive, and relevance. This compellingly written work offers a unique perspective about a book beloved by tens of millions. It is made even more interesting by the author s experiences working for the reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes, the victim of more than one attempted forgery. Senator Bob Bennett was reelected to a third term in the United States Senate in 2004. A member of the Senate Banking and Rules Committees, as well as the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, he has received numerous awards for his contributions in the Senate. Prior to his government service, for his success as CEO of the Franklin International Institute, Bennett was named Inc. Magazine s Entrepreneur of the Year for the Rocky Mountain region. He and his wife, Joyce, are the parents of six children and have 20 grandchildren. Used Book in Good Condition
