Over the years I have encountered many evidences of the True Church, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The purpose of this page is to compile all of those evidences in one place. Most of these ideas originated with others, but some of them are mine. There is no time to discuss each entry fully, but I will do so in brief, and then provide links to other resources that the interested reader can pursue.
Nothing can replace a testimony born of the Holy Spirit, but we learn "by study and also by faith" and in that context, logical evidences can strengthen our testimonies, and prepare us to feel the influence of the Holy Spirit, as it testifies to the truthfulness of the restored gospel.
