Has any Latter-day Saint published a very detailed description of how the Holy Spirit confirmed to them the truth of the BofM, as per Moroni 10:3-7?

score:7

Accepted answer

Many times. Although it is possible that the details they provide are not the details this question specifically seeks.

One of my favorites is the account of Vincenzo di Francesca, who first read the Book of Mormon in 1910. His experience is recorded here, and was later made into a video here.

His experience was unusual in that he found the book on an ash heap and the introductory pages were missing. He came to a testimony of the truthfulness of the messages before (years later) finding out what the book was named or by whom it was published.

Another well-known account is that of Parley P. Pratt (1807-1857). He recorded his experience in gaining a testimony of the Book of Mormon in his autobiography, and for those looking for a free source, a low-cost film telling the (highlights of) his story is available on YouTube here.

I provide a brief discussion of my own experiences on my channel here; though I share fewer details than I expect the OP is looking for.

The difficulty in putting into words a profound experience is explored by Boyd K. Packer (who was an apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) here.
