Illustrations by Apryl Stott
James was an Apostle. He taught others about Jesus Christ. He wrote a letter to the people who believed in Jesus.
In his letter, James taught people to pray. He told them to have faith. He said they could ask God to know what is true.
Hundreds of years later, Joseph Smith read James’s letter in the Bible.
He asked God what church to join.
Joseph’s prayer was answered! Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph. They helped him bring back Jesus Christ’s Church on the earth.
