This past General Conference one of the most powerful witnesses of the veracity of the Book of Mormon was given by the apostle Jeffrey R. Holland. The closest thing I can relate it to is the final testimony given by Elder Bruce R. McConkie days before his death of the Savior Jesus Christ (view here).
To these words let me add my own. If this book is of God, and I testify that it is, then there is nothing more important to read, nothing more important to understand, and nothing more important to act upon in these latter days. Because it is of God then Joseph Smith was Gods prophet and instrument in bringing this ancient record to light. As in days of old God continues to speak to his children through His mouthpiece the prophet. The prophetic line did not end with Joseph - it continues on today through Thomas S. Monson.
"Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth..."
2 Nephi 2: 8
