This unique confirmation of the truth of Joseph Smith’s claims here presented makes this book ( Ancient America and the Book{ of Mormon) of especial value to all Latter-day Saints.
By the use of paralleled quotations from the Wok’s of lxtlilxochitl [a sixteenth century Mexican history] and The Book of Mormon, striking similarities appear, which confirm to a remarkable degree the story of The Book of Mormon. These are printed in this volume and make it an important and valuable document in the study of The Book of Mormon.
It is difficult to understand why we, a Book of Mormon people, have allowed this ancient book ( the Works of lxtlilxochitl), a real opportunity for us, to slumber so long. But now we have it, and no doubt its testimony will be used by gospel students for years to come.
Not only are the comparisons of the two books given here, but the authors have skillfully added much historical and doctrinal information, to clarify the comparisons and to help the reader in his search for truth. This makes the volume doubly precious.
This volume is valuable to all lovers of the Book of Mormon, and to all who are seeking to establish in their hearts the truth of the -Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, as revealed by the Prophet Joseph Smith. We should be grateful to the authors who have gone to such pains to bring this information to our attention. May the book find a wide distribution? It will grace the library of every Gospel student.
JOHN A. WIDTSOE Of the Council of the Twelve Apostles
Ancient America and The Book of Mormon is a timely, instructive and stimulating addition to the ever-increasing volume of literature in this field. The authors present convincing evidence that the Works of lxtlilxochitl add further support to the divine origin of this American volume of scripture -The Book of Mormon. It is particularly gratifying to note the accumulation of evidence for and interest in this new witness for Jesus Christ.
The modern world is groping in spiritual confusion. War and commotion shake the earth. Now, possibly more than at any time in our history, we need to seriously consider the lessons taught in this inspired history of ancient America. The social experiments of The Book of Mormon, closely paralleled by the writings of Ixtlilxochitl, clearly proclaim that keeping the commandments of the Lord is the formula for peace and happiness.
This volume should be of interest and value to people everywhere and especially to students of ancient American history and citizens interested in the preservation of the land of Zion. It would be a valuable addition to the family library and, therefore, should find a permanent place in every home.
