The Latter-Day Saints (How to Respond)

Rating:
Summary: Good Summary
Review: Having dealt with Mormons at work, in my family and on the street, this book served as a good summary on the beliefs and practices of this religious sect. I have further researched this in the Mormon's own covenants and found it to be accurate. I recommend it (and the series) for anyone that needs a place to start in learning how to handle encounters with those whose beliefs are different from Christianity.

Summary: Oh ye of little minds
Review: The above review was obviously written by a mormon, and one with a very tiny closed up mind. This book is very informational and helpful to those who do not deal with LDS missionaries on a daily basis. I have been a member and for the last 5 years have struggled to get away from their grasp and regain my life. The issues presented in this book will help non-members identify ways to nicely send them away. Not the best- there are better but overall informative and good reading.

Summary: no documentation...just pure opinion
Review: This book has very poor research behind it. Plus there are negative quotes/phrases on the side margins that do not show any documentation to support itself. The author from the begining had the intention to say what he wanted to say, or whatever opinions he had. Why else would he write this book? I thought that this book was a complete waste because it was not accurate, but then again it was his attempt for those (who do not know much about Mormons) to have a way to respond when they encounter Mormons. I think that those who are approached my Mormons should be courteous and say, "No thank you, goodbye." Or "So, what are you guys all about?" All people should have the obligation to choose and analyze things on their own (and utlimately to pray to our Father in Heaven to verify its truth), rather than rely on the ignorance of others.
