My logical and scientific mind tell me that before he can grapple with the veracity of Joseph Smith's claims, he really needs to become deeply hungry for righteousness, through God. What's the point of believing Joseph Smith is a true prophet if one is not even that passionate about the God he is supposed to represent. So, imho, a first step might be to pray that your husband would develop a deep desire to know God. Figuring who best represents him is an afterthought--again, imho.
