Letters to a Mormon Elder by James R. White (Paperback)
Product Description
Incorporating the most recent research and solid biblical truth, Letters to a Mormon Elder is a series of personal letters written to a fictional Mormon missionary. Examining the teaching and theology of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the book brings a relational approach to material usually presented in textbook style. James White draws from his extensive apologetics ministry to thousands of Mormons in presenting the truth of Christianity. With well-defined arguments, James White provides readers with insight and understanding into: the Book of Mormon, the prophecies, visions, and teachings of Joseph Smith, other major historical issues relevant to the claims of the LDS Church, and the theological implications of Mormonism. This marvelous study is a valuable text for Christians who talk with Mormons and is an ideal book to be read by Mormons.
About the Author
I am a former LDS member, and I am turned off by those I feel lack compassion or understanding of those in the LDS Church. I believe he has a genuine concern for Mormons, and has tried to show those Mormons who are open to logic and rational thought that there are real substantive problems with the teaching of the LDS Church.
The very roots of Mormonism began with deception and distortion, and Mr. White exposes what many of us feel about the promotion and protection of those roots by the LDS Church itself.
I and other former LDS members felt that there were many things that bothered us about the teaching of the church, but we overlooked them because of our love for other Mormons, and the good principles that the Church taught.
Mr. White provides good food for thought for those types of Mormons, the LDS Church is NOT the same as Christianity.
