Judy Robertson shares her unique insider's viewpoint as a woman in
the Mormon church. After she and her husband rediscovered God's
truth, they faced torment and persecution upon leaving the LDS
church. This reader-friendly book is one of the few Christian books
that focuses first on an individual's journey from Mormonism rather
than on theology or Christian doctrines. The revised edition
includes testimonies of others who have left the Mormon church and
what God is doing today through Concerned Christians. Readers will
find Out of Mormonism a useful resource for understanding and
witnessing to friends and family in the LDS church.
"All will find here much reality, much wisdom, much encouragement,
and much to praise God for."--J.I. Packer
This popular book from respected leader Charles H. Kraft shows
believers how to exercise the authority they have from God through
Jesus Christ. When Christians recognize and use the amazing gift of
spiritual authority, they position themselves to provide protection
and bring transformation, not only in their lives but in the lives
of family members, friends, even coworkers. Now fully revised and
updated.
This is the biography of a contested memory, how it was born, grew,
changed the world, and was changed by it. It's the story of the
story of how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began.
Joseph Smith, the church's founder, remembered that his first
audible prayer, uttered in spring of 1820 when he was about
fourteen, was answered with a vision of heavenly beings. Appearing
to the boy in the woods near his parents' home in western New York
State, they told Smith that he was forgiven and warned him that
Christianity had gone astray. Smith created a rich and
controversial historical record by narrating and documenting this
event repeatedly. In First Vision, Steven C. Harper shows how
Latter-day Saints (beginning with Joseph Smith) and others have
remembered this experience and rendered it meaningful. When and why
and how did Joseph Smith's first vision, as saints know the event,
become their seminal story? What challenges did it face along the
way? What changes did it undergo as a result? Can it possibly hold
its privileged position against the tides of doubt and disbelief,
memory studies, and source criticism-all in the information age?
Steven C. Harper tells the story of how Latter-day Saints forgot
and then remembered accounts of Smith's experience and how Smith's
1838 account was redacted and canonized. He explores the dissonance
many saints experienced after discovering multiple accounts of
Smith's experience. He describes how, for many, the dissonance has
been resolved by a reshaped collective memory.
