As an example let's look at what Cheesman has to say:
The Book of Mormon was not written with the intention of providing a full historical account of the people involved. Rather, Mormon, Moroni, and Nephi, the three principal authors, have written an abridged spiritual record that contains only enough historical data to add continuity to a record that involves a very lengthy time span. Any external evidence would primarily, therefore, be important for the book’s historicity, not its spiritual message. Since the record contains spiritual lessons, the reader would need to have a spiritual experience in order to secure the verification of its validity. The formula for gaining that testimony is found in Moroni 10:4–5 [Moro. 10:4–5] from the record itself. Proof of the Book of Mormon thus remains within the spiritual realm and not from studying archaeology.
Answer/Brother Paul R. Cheesman
Is there anything that has been found among the archaeological evidences that would sustain or support the Book of Mormon?

Moroni 10:4–5
Book of Mormon
4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
This is the described "burning of the bosom" LDS speak of. It is not Scriptural, nor grounded in Christianity but in their belief in the cult of Mormonism.
No! The Book of Mormon doesn't mention "burning of the bosom."
Doctrine and Covenants 9:8 says:
“But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right."
This is part of their propaganda:
The words “you shall feel that it is right” refer to a feeling of peace and warmth, a feeling that touches the soul. For an investigator of the truth, this feeling begins to come when the missionaries come and leave their message. They can feel it in the home after the missionaries leave. They can feel it in the congregations of the Saints; and they can feel it as they read and study and pray about the message. It is a feeling that is unique in its peace and joy because it emanates from Jesus Christ. It is that feeling which brings a greater knowledge and a more sure witness than even flesh and bones.
Loren C. Dunn delivers a message titled "Did Not Our Heart Burn Within Us?"

Joseph Smith undoubtedly borrowed D&C 9:8 from his reading of Luke 24:32
“And they said one to another, did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?”
THE DEVIL CAN CITE SCRIPTURE TO HIS OWN ADVANTAGE!
When I finally prayed about Mormonism (I had been a member for years), I told God that I didn't know Who He was and said, "Will You, the REAL GOD, please show me and teach me WHO YOU ARE and whether or not Mormonism is true?"
Then I started reading my Bible.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
God would direct my paths! Why would I need a Mormon prophet?
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
