Letters to a Mormon Elder

Summary: A grounded, evidential look at Mormonism
Review: This was an excellent book--the best I have read on the topic thus far. James White is not out to "destroy the faith of others;" he obviously has a heart for Mormons and wants desperately for them to know the truth (as do I). This book helped me develop a very deep compassion for the members of the LDS church, and this wouldn't have happened had Mr. White written with hatred and the intent to destroy, as some claim. Mormons are wonderful people--I pray that they will read books such as James White's and realize that their doctrines are built on sinking sand. James White does a very good job of taking the focus off of the "burning in the bosom" and looking at the LDS religion from an intellectual and evidential viewpoint. Simply, the evidence is just not there. Our faith, Christianity, should be grounded in truth and history, not one's emotions or how one "feels" about it. If you read any book on Mormonism, this should be the one.
