The Book of Mormon is a sacred text of the Latter-day Saint movement, which was first published in 1830 by Joseph Smith. The book contains four books, each named after a prophet from the ancient Americas. These prophets are ALMA, Enos, ETHER, and OMNI. ALMA is known for his teachings on faith and repentance, Enos for his prayers of faith, ETHER for his prophecies of the future, and OMNI for his record of the Jaredite people.
