The controversial memoir 'Brigham's Destroying Angel' caused a huge
rift in the Mormon Church upon its release in 1872 and had a
powerful effect on the church's reputation. 'Wild' Bill Hickman's
book chronicles his life as a member of the Mormon church and his
reputed position as Brigham Young's hatchet-man. Accused at the
time of mass-murder, Hickman shares the details of the horrific
crimes he committed, which he controversially claims were ordered
by Brigham Young. This new 2017 edition of 'Brigham's Destroying
Angel' includes an introduction and appendix.

Historically, the church's ministry of grounding new believers in
the essentials of the faith has been known as
"catechesis"--systematic instruction in faith foundations,
including what we believe, how we pray and worship, and how we
conduct our lives. For most evangelicals today, however, this very
idea is an alien concept. Packer and Parrett, concerned for the
state of the church, seek to inspire a much needed evangelical
course correction. This new book makes the case for a recovery of
significant catechesis as a nonnegotiable practice of churches,
showing the practice to be complementary to, and of no less value
than, Bible study, expository preaching, and other formational
ministries, and urging evangelical churches to find room for this
biblical ministry for the sake of their spiritual health and
vitality.
