SCRIPTURE STUDY
7 Short Videos to Kick Off Your Book of Mormon Come Follow Me Study
The Come Follow Me curriculum for this year is covering the Book of Mormon. Fortunately, Book of Mormon Central has produced a massive amount of content that can help individuals dive deeper into the Book of Mormon. This content includes over 500 videos which are featured on our YouTube channel and included in our scripture app called ScripturePlus.
This week we are studying the introductory pages to the Book of Mormon. Among all the amazing resources out there, we have seven videos to help you and your family get started.
Title Page
We teamed up with artist Katie Payne to create a richly illustrated and beautifully animated video of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. It gives an overview of the plates from which the book was translated, showing how they were handed down from Mormon to his son Moroni and eventually to Joseph Smith. The wording of the video’s narration comes mainly from the Book of Mormon’s Title Page.
Introduction
This video takes the text of the Introduction of the Book of Mormon and brings it to life with relevant images and video animation. It is perfect for sharing with family members or those who are just beginning to learn about the Book of Mormon.
Joseph Smith Testimony
Another video based on portions of the text from the Testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Come Follow Me Lesson Videos
We have begun a new video series with BYU instructors Taylor Halverson and Tyler Griffin. In these two videos, they review the Title Page, Introduction, and the testimonies of the Three and Eight Witnesses.
Evidence Videos
Throughout the last few years, Book of Mormon Central has created several evidence videos on our second YouTube channel, called BMC Studios. The following two videos focus on the plates of the Book of Mormon and their miraculous translation.

ANTHONY JANSEN VAN SALLEE, 1607-1676 by Hazel Van Dyke Roberts, PH.D. I'm using the historical writing of Hazel Roberts, as she did a lot of research on it. Anthony was the son of the Pirate King, Jan Jansen, told about in the last entry, # 154. This is about an interesting part of early New England History. New Amsterdam became the city New York when the English conquered the Dutch in 1664. Anthony Jansen Van Salee was a unique, interesting, and important figure in the early history of New Amsterdam, He has been found to be the most unusual and interesting figure in the New Amsterdam records . Contentious and obviously a nuisance to them, he was treated by the authorities with the respect due to a person of importance. It is speculated that Anthony’s ...
My second great grandfather on my mother's side lived quite an amazing life. He had many health problems in his life, and yet he became strong enough to be one of the Prophet Joseph Smith's bodyguards in the last years of the Prophet's life. His Gallitan, Missouri, fight incident is well known in Church history. John Lowe Butler, was born Apr, 8, 1808, in Kentucky, to James and Charity Lowe Butler. He was not a healthy child. When he was seven years old he was stricken with inflammatory rheumatism which spread over his body from his toes to his fingertips. This disease returned once or twice a year until he was 20. When he was 19, the pain settled in his left side and his thigh and his arm began to fail him. John became so frail that his mother could carry him about in her arms. In spite of his long, continued illness, he stood six feet tall when he was 22. His extensive autobiography shows...
