"I want this Book to fill the world, man!" Goosebumps. I love how he says that.

Same! It gave me goosebumps! I want to share this amazing gospel with everyone!
Though I'm not mormon, what this guy talks about makes complete sense. Anyone who had just been in the presence of God know how truly wonderful He is, no matter how mad that may sound. All that matters is that we respect one another and love one another above all!

I asked the lord to take me to his church when I was younger. Never would I have chosen this church if I was to seek a church with my own knowledge. The lord led me to this church in the most amazing circumstances, it has changed my life.

Hey! How are you doing now?
I was Baptised I'm 2004 that is 13 years ago and have been in active for 10 I have made a lot of mistakes and have lost my way in the parth of God, I have stood by the side lines watching my fellow members being blessed and I falling deep in to sadness and misery. I know the Lord loves me and he has not forgotten me I just do know how to leave this life I have accustomed myself to and find God again and experience the companionship of the hollyspirit I love these church videos and testimonies I know they are true because of the joy and peace I feel everytim I watch them they have motivated me over the years and reminded me of my faith and my belief. I have two boys now and I pray that God give me strength to take them to church so they can know a father who truly loves and care for them.

bonyana, first, remember the feeling and joy you had finding the church, getting baptized and feeling the spirit. Remember that!!! Then look at your position now and see where your choices have led you and then you will know what to do. Remember, the path we walk in life is paved by the choices we make and you realize that the path you walk is not taking you in the direction you want to go. So, it will take the faith you once applied to make the change. First, go to church. Find the times your ward meets and get there. Start meeting your church family, talk to the bishop, pray, sturdy the scriptures and read the Book of Mormon, and all the standard works. Even if you have to loose some 'friends' you have now and make new ones then do it, please. Do all this and you will get back to that straight and narrow path, holding on to that narrow rod that guides you back to our Heavenly Father. Do this and you will find the new life that you once had. Let us know how it goes, ok.

when the missionaries gave the lessons. i read the book of mormon they gave me. the next time they gave me the doctrine and covenants. i read that to. soon after that i was baptized. in the next six months i completed the history of the church. the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints in the only true church. that happened in 1971.
I would really love to become Mormon, I really feel like I'm missing something in me and that this is something i would really love to do. Follow the book of Mormon and read more and educate myself more about God.

I couldn't thank HEAVENLY FATHER & BELOVED HEAVENLY MOTHER enough, for the Restoration of, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS back on Earth. The Book of Mormon is, the word of our HEAVENLY PARENT'S.
Brother Cooke, your story is my story pretty much. Thank you for your testimony.
This is one of the most inspiring stories of one man's testimony of the Gospel and the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am proud to be a member.
I could fall asleep listening to his scripture reading. Not out of boredom but because of the serenity in his reading of the scripture.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.There are so many beautiful conversion stories to the Church, and I never tire of learning about them. I love my membership in the Church, and it is the most precious treasure that I have; it has been a great source of peace and happiness that I never ever thought possible.
This could very well be my favorite Mormon Message!! They are all incredible though and I'm grateful for them.
💜😇I truly don't understand why people are so afraid of the BOOK OF MORMON, it's just a book, filled with much wisdom! That can strengthen you, and change you for the better!!!

Love this! The Book Of Mormon is such an amazing source of knowledge.
It feels wonderful that the word and works of God still engulf those that seek the truth.
I have never felt more joy from a book in my remembrance than this. God does love His children and He did make a way to become like Him. We must become like Christ. Day by Day. Week by Week. Month by Month. Year by Year. Forever and ever. We must prepare our hearts through prayer and efforts to become like Christ. That one day we may rest in peace having accomplished all that we set out to accomplish; having no regret. Praying for our hearts to be changed. Even praying for our hearts to want to be changed. And putting in the effort. Doing things not by our will, but by His. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.
Lovely. Reminds me how much the Book of Mormon has taught me about Jesus Christ and how much I love it.
The B of M has changed my life as it has this good man!
I love The Book of Mormon! It's now been 31 1/2 years since it came into my life, but it truly has changed my life for the better! I have been so blessed!!!
Jesus Loves us so much!
One of if not the best descriptions of what the Book of Mormon is and an inspiring, personal testament to its value.
Love this man- his enthusiasm is infectious!!
Discovering the message of the Book of Mormon is an ongoing lifetime experience which I deeply treasure. We learn how loved we are by God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
I love the excitement with with he speaks. He fires me up! Love this so much! May we all be as excited about the Gospel as he is.
I felt the same after reading the Book of Mormon, Another Testimony of Jesus Christ. It brought me closer to Jesus Christ. Because I read the Book of Mormon, it made me want to read the Bible. They both testify and teach the True Gospel. I know that they are both true books and from God, our Father.
Just Wonderful and Enlightening !!!
Goosebumps. Beautiful, powerful, spiritful story. Thank you for sharing!
This kind Bishop has a heart of gold and a mighty faith in Jesus Christ!
An awesome video ... thanks to men like the bishop!
That made me miss England. I served a mission in Birmingham. This guy is such a stud. Thanks for sharing.
I feel the same way that this man does. The Book of Mormon has given me reason for life and hope for the future.
this video lifted my spirit today!
This is so beautiful!!!
This is very sincere. I appreciated the personal story and whole tone of the clip.
An illuminating video. Chris Cook has a deliciously melodic voice and shares a touching life story. Thanks for this!
I love this video! It not only strengthened my testimony, but it taught me more about how to share my testimony of the Book of Mormon with others. Thank you.
Haven’t watched this for a long time, just want to add, the Book of Mormon is true! It has changed my life. I love my God, and his Son. Their is so much peace to be found in this book.
his smile lights the sky..Amen
I would love to meet this man. He has a powerful spirit about him! Amen to his testimony.
I love the Book of Mormon 😘
What a wonderful message. Makes me feel good inside. Thank you for sharing this message of hope and truth.
That was beautiful. I've had similar experiences with the book of mormon, and scripture in general. Prayer as well has changed my heart in a way that seemed impossible. I love God.
Chris Cooke is such amazing and humble man!! Served in his ward while I was a missionary in London. This video definitely fills me with the spirit!
How can you not like this message? I just can't see how it's possible how a Christ-loving person could not appreciate this book.
"I want this Book to fill the world!" Amen!!
This makes me want to share it too! Great movie!
I LOVE this gentle man's testimony! He teaches with the Spirit so sincerely and I know to an even greater degree that the Book of Mormon IS the WORD of GOD and He prepared it that we might know for ourselves the promises that were made to ALL MANKIND... ALL CHILDREN OF GOD... from the EAST to the WEST... (Ezekial 37:15-21) Remember that a 'stick' in ancient times was a 'book', papyrus wrapped around sticks... LOVE YOU:)
Yay! This is beautiful!
what a great story and for someone who is not so good at reading your story really opened allot of doors and has strengthened my testimony about the truthfulness of the gospel...thank you for sharing
That was a beautiful testimony. Thank you.
I love this book!

I’m on this high note spiritually. It’s fast testimony tomorrow. I’m super excited. It’s different this time. I’m a convert of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I’m a convert into the church physically 8 yrs ago but I feel like I’ve been in His church spiritually forever if that makes sense.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU
Man, that guy has an amazing reading voice.
Beautiful...I really enjoyed watching this!
I love this short story, please put out more like it!
What I love about these Mormon messages is the continual effort to create new approaches to telling stories. You never cease to both entertain and move me. I love the animation. The music is also so expertly done; it gives the film an independent (not too big or corporate) feel, while still capturing the magic and sacredness of the BoM story and testimonies given. It's the subtle nuances in art that separate the amateur from the pro and you are clearly in the latter category. Bravo.
Love it! Thanks for sharing this great story!
Simply beautiful and touching.
I have asked the same questions and come to the same conclusions, what an amazing message.
The art in this video is fantastic! What a beautiful film.

A beautiful depiction and testimony of truth. Thank you for this!
Gave me chills - I love the artwork (and the message)!
Tears of joy and thanksgiving for your humbling and enlightening testimony... All things I've learned many times... yet so personal and renewing as you spoke... beautiful witness... Thanks so much :)
This man's voice is beautiful and his positiveness is so adorable. Kind of like the cute kid you would never tell that Santa isn't real.
Wow! Putting this video in my "favorites" isn't enough for me. I think this is one of the best Mormon Messages yet and I want to share it with the whole world! It gives just a sliver of a hint of the power and happiness that comes from The Book of Mormon. Amazing.

This was a great video and a wonderful story of one man's feelings for the Book of Mormon. It touched me and made me want to go and read my copy right now.
I love the animation in this video. And his reading of the book is beautiful.
The New and Old Testaments and The Book of Mormon are great companions. Read them to find out why. I have! Don't rush it though ... and be prayerful
Haven't watched the video yet but I can already tell i'm going to enjoy it. I thank the Church for inspirational videos like this one.
The whole experience has changed my life too. :D
What a wonderful video! The animation and the cinematography is just amazing! So touching! Lets get this message out there!
