Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Visions of Joseph Smith the Seer: Discoveries of Ancient American Records and Relics; With the Statements of Dr. Lederer (Converted Jew) And Others
From this promise he learned that it was the priv ilege of all men to ask God for wisdom, with the sure and certain expectation of receiving liberally; without being upbraided for so doing. This was cheering infor mation to him; tidings that gave him great 'j oy. It was like a light shining forth in a dark place, to guide him to the path in which he should walk. He now saw that if he enquired of God there was not only a possibility, but a probability; yea more, a certainty that he should obtain a knowledge, which of all the doctrines was the doctrine of Christ, and which of all the churches was the church of Christ. He therefore retired to a secret place in a grove, a short distance from his father's house, and knelt down and began to call upon the Lord. At first he was severely tempted by the powers of darkness, which endeavored to overcome him; but he continued to seek for deliverance, until darkness gave way from his mind, and he was enabled to pray in fervency of the Spirit and in faith. And while thus pouring out his soul, anxiously desiring an answer from God, he at length saw a very bright and glorious light in the heavens above, which at first seemed to be at a considerable distance.
