A Simple Introduction to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Since the days of Joseph Smith, the apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have endeavored to allow those not of our faith to understand what we believed and why we believe it. In this book, Elder Ballard, himself an apostle(or special witness of Christ) has presented a concise primer to the doctrines of the Latter Day Saints. It is clear, it is detailed, and it is to the point. To those who are not LDS, it will allow you to understand what we believe, why we believe it, and why we hold such strong convictions of it. To those who are LDS, it will provide an example of how to present the basic doctrines of the church(and in some cases, how not to!) to those who wish to relate to us more closely. As a member of the church, I do value my faith very highly, and I wish for everyone to have that available to them, and I am grateful that there is such a tool available for that purpose.

~~ESSENTIAL ~~

Anyone, regaurdless of their opinion about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, should read this book; especially before they bash the church. I read this when I was investigating (and bashing the church myself). It is easy to read, to the point, and makes a whole lot of sense. For those who beilieve, it will bring strength to their testimony and help them to minister to others. For those who want to believe, it will answer many of the questions they might have. For those who don't believe, it might bring a greater sense of understanding to a religion that is so often misunderstood. I love this book, it really helped my heart to open up to recieve the gospel of Jesus Christ, which I couldn't be more greatful for. I recommend it to all.
Great Book

I loved this book, it is such a great introduction to the beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I've read through it several times and had my children read it as well. I recently bought several copies for friends who I felt would benefit from it as well.This book has also become part of the standard missionary library, the only books (other than the scriptures) that a full-time missionary from the LDS church is supposed to keep with them.
