There is nothing more important to a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, Mormon) than having a personal "testimony" confirm the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and, ultimately, Mormonism. Fourteen-year-old Joseph Smith, Jr., first utilized James 1:5 as a Mormon proof text in 1820. Mormonism teaches that God the Father and Jesus appeared to the eventual church founder in a vision that took place soon after he prayed about the true church. [From the text]
