The editor of “These Stones, Fastened to a Breastplate” Here, newly published by Rod Meldrum and Firm Foundation, has received a feeling of new inspiration from this classic Church History Book. “This is my new favorite book other than the Scriptures. I have been so inspired by Lucy Mack Smith’s record.” Rian Nelson Author
“These Stones Fastened by a Breastplate: JSH 1:35
“Foundational to the Restoration is the validity of the translation of the Book of Mormon. The primary editors, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdrey, maintained that the process was accomplished using an instrument provided centuries in advance by the Lord for the very purpose of sacred inspired translation. Some detractors claimed that Joseph abandoned the
Lord’s instrument, the Urim and Thummim, for a more convenient stone in a hat. The Lord Himself in several revelations validated Joseph’s use of this instrument. Yet modern historians point to hostile witnesses to bolster their stone in the hat (SITH) narrative. Rian explores important new insights into this critical aspect of Church History. “

“Joseph Smith received the same Urim and Thummim had by the Brother of Jared for it was the one expressly provided for the translation of the Jaredite and Nephite records. (D&C 10: 1; 17:1; Ether 3:22- 28.) It was separate and distinct from the one had by Abraham and the one had by the priests in Israel. The Prophet also had a seer stone which was separate and distinct from the Urim and Thummim, and which (speaking loosely) has been called by some a Urim and Thummim.” Joseph Fielding Smith Mormon Doctrine page 576(Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, pp. 222-226.
In this new book, “These Stones, Fastened by a Breastplate” you will see amazing scriptural evidence where Joseph Smith indeed used the spectacles fastened to a breastplate for the complete translation of the Book of Mormon. No where in scripture does it say that Joseph used a stone in a hat.
Joseph’s mother said, “That of which I spoke, which Joseph termed a key, was indeed nothing more nor less than a Urim and Thummim by which the angel manifested those things to him that were shown him in vision; by which also he could at any time ascertain the approach of danger, either to himself or the record, and for this cause he kept these things constantly about his person.” (History of Joseph Smith, Revised and Enhanced, p. 139, 145)
