Summary: Flawed logic
Review: Since I don't have the time to pen my own full book in response, I will just address the first question: if (all) Mormons are Christians, are (all) Christians Mormon? That is like asking: if (all) lions are cats, are (all) cats lions? I do have a Presbyterian best friend who is essentially Mormon in her beliefs. Sometimes I tell her she is a better Mormon than I am, which she takes as a high compliment. As a former Non-denominational Protestant Christian, I find it odd and illogical that some Protestants could fathom that Protestants as a whole with all their varied beliefs/doctrines (and Catholics whom the Protestants are protesting) can all be considered Christians, but Mormons can't.

Summary: Great Questions, Great Logic
Review: This book contains 15 great questions for opening conversation between Mormons and non-Mormons. For example, the first chapter, "If I Accept You as a Christian, Will You Accept Me as a Mormon?" addresses one of the most common objections Mormons articulate to their critics ("Mormons are Christians!") and does so in a very sensible manner. Chapter 2, "Which First Vision Account Should We Believe?" takes a look at the very foundation of the LDS Church and reasonably raises questions regarding the differing stories Joseph Smith told about his supposed encounter with the Gods. Chapter 4, "What If the Bible Is Translated Correctly After All?" seeks to encourage discussion about the unsupportable Mormon position that the Bible is unreliable and cannot be trusted. Many people, from all sorts of faith backgrounds, never really think about their beliefs. Anything that causes people to examine what they believe, study issues they may not have considered before, bring about sincere dialogue between friends, and help us to better understand another's viewpoint is a rare and valuable treasure. McKeever and Johnson's book does all these things -- with grace. If there are objections to this book's content, I can only think it is because the authors have done such a fine job of logically addressing the issues raised that some may feel threatened by the mere asking of the question. And if so, perhaps the objector will go home and think about it.

Summary: Simple questions and answers to help Mormons
Review: This book is a very simplistic guide to help Mormons realize the downfalls of Joseph Smith. It gives nice examples of how the Book of Mormon was nothing more than his attempt to claim prestige. I only gave it four stars because it's hard to hurt a friends feelings. Mormons are trying to be wonderful people but are simply being told only the half-truths of their leaders and the cults history. The truth must be told and I recommend this once someone is willing to stand by their side to recover from the Mormon mental trap.
