Mormon Fundamentalism $78.5 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Mormon fundamentalism (also called fundamentalist Mormonism) is a belief in the validity of selected fundamental aspects of Mormonism as taught and practiced in the nineteenth century, particularly during the administration of Brigham Young, an early president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Mormon fundamentalists seek to uphold tenets and practices no longer held by mainstream Mormons (members of the LDS Church). The principle most often associated with Mormon fundamentalism is plural marriage, a form of polygyny first taught by Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. A second and closely associated principle is that of the United Order, a form of egalitarian communalism. Mormon fundamentalists believe that these and other principles were wrongly abandoned or changed by the mainline LDS Church in its efforts to become reconciled with mainstream American society. |

Thank You for the Book of Mormon $14.99 “The Book of Mormon is a source of great controversy. For some it is a guiding light in their spiritual world. For others it is an enigma – difficult to understand. Whatever you believe about the Book of Mormon there can be no doubting the sincerity of the people who seek to share it with others. This book respects that sincerity while asking some important questions. Whether you are: considering joining the LDS faith a curious outsider who wants to understand the Book of Mormon or a committed member of the LDS faith seeking to understand the struggles that non-LDS experience when challenged to accept the Book of Mormon, Thank You for The Book of Mormon: A Christian Friend’s Response can help you in your journey of faith. Carl L. George is a husband, father, Baptist pastor and teacher currently living in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area. After graduating from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas, he planted and pastored several churches in Florida before starting a church in Utah. As a church planter in Utah, Carl had the privilege of sharing his faith with hundreds of members of the LDS church and, as a result, he experienced first hand the frustration of maintaining a caring dialogue with members and leaders of the LDS church. In an attempt to better facilitate communication between LDS and non-LDS, he has written “Thank You for The Book of Mormon: A Christian Friend’s Response.”" |

Mormon Temples $12.68 There is perhaps more misinformation circulating about the temple ceremony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints than any other church topic. This is especially apparent in the many attacks of the LDS Church that label temple worship as a "cult practice" and an expression of non-Judeo-Christian beliefs. Surprisingly, many members of the LDS Church also have false notions about temple ceremonies. In this work, Elder Dean Larsen, emeritus general authority of the LDS Church and former temple president, corrects such inaccuracies, explaining that Latter-day Saint temples are a place in which worshippers may gain spiritual insight and strength; they provide a place in which the most sacred covenants between God and man can be consummated. |

New Mormon Challenge $29.99 “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) currently has over 11 million members and 56,000 full-time missionaries, more than any other single missionary sending organization in the world. These missionaries convert over 310,000 people annually. Partly because Christians lack substantive resources with which they can counter Mormon claims, a staggering number of these converts, perhaps as many as 80%, come from Protestant backgrounds. For example, it has been said that enough Baptists become Mormons each year to fill 52 medium-sized Baptist churches. In Mormon circles the saying is, “We baptize a Baptist church every week.” Within fifteen years there will likely be 110,000 full time LDS missionaries converting more than 672,000 persons annually. Sociologists predict that within eighty years the Mormon religion will have in excess of 265 million adherents, making it the first world-religion to arise since Islam.” |

Mormon Mother: An Autobiography by Annie Clark Tanner $13.48 Annie Clark was one of several wives of LDS Church Commissioner of Education Joseph Tanner. A good mother and devout Mormon woman, she nevertheless admitted that she saw her husband so infrequently that she felt more like his mistress.

The Mormon Faith of Mitt Romney: What Latter-Day Saints Teach and Practice $17.63 Former Massachusetts governor and prominent Mormon Mitt Romney is a frontrunner in the race for the Republican nomination for president. But what is it that Mormons officially believe? Deferring to the leaders of the LDS church Romney has been tight-lipped when asked about his faith. What many Americans don’t know is that Romney is himself a powerful leader in the LDS church, having served as a powerful bishop and tracing his heritage in the church to the inner circle of LDS founder Joseph Smith himself. Romney’s secrecy has only served to fuel Americans’ suspicion of a religious group that has often been at odds with the wider culture. In this timely book, pastor and author Andrew Jackson uncovers the history, teachings and practices of Mitt Romney and his fellow Latter-day Saints. Compares them to Evangelical Christian beliefs and challenges Romney to be open and transparent to the American people about what he believes and its implications if he is elected president. |

What Do I Say to Mormon Friends and Missionaries? $17.41 Have you ever wondered what to say to Mormon missionaries who come to your door? Do you feel uncomfortable about sharing your Christian faith with a Mormon friend, coworker, or neighbor? Have you wished for a clearer understanding of the differences between Mormonism and Christianity? If you ve ever wanted a friendly, easy-to-use guide for talking with your Mormon friend or acquaintance, you ll find this book an ideal help. In her warm, personal style, Donna Morley will equip you with the basic essentials for pointing Mormons to Christ and biblical truth. In this expanded edition, of what use to be A Christian Woman ‘s Guide to Understanding Mormonism, Morly provides many practical illustrations and step-by-step guidelines along with study questions and a simple yet powerful tool called a Fact Sheet will build your confidence in sharing your faith with Mormons. Also Included: LDS Photo Album Morley includes an LDS Photo Album, which would be of interest to anyone interested in Mormon history or to just put a face in the reader’s mind of the many characters in the Mormon story. A Gift to Mormons Morley has not only written this book to assist Christians, but if the Christian feels led, this book can be given as a gift to a Mormon. Throughout this book are "boxed notes" that say, "Mormon Friend, Please Consider." Again, this will help the Christian converse with Mormons, but too, it’s made personal enough (with much politeness) that if you feel led to give it to a Mormon friend, he or she will feel that, with much love, it was written for just for him or her. Endorsements This book has been endorsed by many, such as Today ‘s Books giving Morley accolades from this book’s first printing: " EXCEPTIONAL." Others have also endorsed this book, such as Bill McKeever (Founder of Mormonism Research); Duane Magnani (Director of Witness, Inc); Angela Goedelman (Personal Freedom Outreach); Fritz Ridenour, Author of the Best Seller, What ‘s the Difference?; Dr. Ed Hindson (Assistant Chancellor, Liberty University); Christine D. Anderson (Editor, Lifeway Church Resources); and more. |

The New Mormon Challenge: Responding to the Latest Defenses of a Fast-Growing Movement $28.88 Current facts about Mormonism-Over 11 million members.-Over 60,000 full-time missionaries–more than any other single missionary-sending organization in the world.-More than 310,000 converts annually.-As many as eighty percent of converts come from Protestant backgrounds. (In Mormon circles, the saying is, "We baptize a Baptist church every week.") -Within fifteen years, the numbers of missionaries and converts will roughly double.-Within eighty years, with adherents exceeding 267 million, Mormonism could become the first world-religion to arise since Islam. You may know the statistics. What you probably don’t know are the advances the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is making in apologetics and academic respectability. With superb training, Mormon scholars outclass many of their opponents. Arguments against Mormon claims are increasingly refuted as outdated, misinformed, or poorly argued. The New Mormon Challenge is a response to the burgeoning challenge of scholarly Mormon apologetics. Written by a team of respected Christian scholars, it is free of caricature, sensationalism, and diatribe. The respectful tone and responsible, rigorous, yet readable scholarship set this book in a class of its own. The New Mormon Challenge recycles no previous material and duplicates no one’s efforts. Instead, responding to the best LDS scholarship, it offers freshly researched and well-documented rebuttals of Mormon truth claims. Most of the chapter topics have never been addressed, and the criticisms and arguments are almost entirely new. But The New Mormon Challenge does not merely challenge Mormon beliefs; it offers the LDS Church and her members ways to move forward.The NewMormon Challenge will help you understand the intellectual appeal of Mormonism, and it will reveal many of the fundamental weaknesses of the Mormon worldview. Whether you are sharing the gospel with Mormons or are investigating Mormonism for yourself, this book will help you accurately understand Mormonism and see the superiority of the historic Christian faith. Outstanding scholarship and sound methodology make this an ideal textbook. The biblical, historical, scientific, philosophical, and theological discussions are fascinating and will appeal to Christians and Mormons alike. Exemplifying Christian scholarship at its best, The New Mormon Challenge pioneers a new genre of literature on Mormonism.The EditorsFrancis J. Beckwith (Ph.D., Fordham University), Carl Mosser (Ph.D. candidate, University of St. Andrews), and Paul Owen (Ph.D., University of Edinburgh) are respected authorities on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the authors of various books and significant articles on Mormonism. Their individual biographies as well as information on the book’s contributors appear inside. With contributors including such respected scholars as Craig L. Blomberg, William Lane Craig, J. P. Moreland, and others, The New Mormon Challenge is, as Richard Mouw |

My Kingdom Come: The Mormon Quest for Godhood $22.99 “To a Mormon, happiness may be Family Home Evening, and families may be forever, but becoming an actual god is the ultimate goal of every member of the church. Mormons believe the reason for coming to earth from the planet near the great star Kolob is to gain bodies for our spirit beings and to be tested. To become gods, they need to be Mormons, to go through the temple to learn the signs and tokens for entry to the celestial glory and to be obedient unto death to the holy prophet. Everything else is tied to, and wraps around, this one goal. Today, Mormon Mitt Romney is a major candidate for the White House, A man who would be god. An entire chapter is devoted to the Mormon Plan for America and the rise of Mitt Romney. It is a warning and a must read for every Christian. Ed Decker is the International Director of Saints Alive in Jesus, a ministry that actively brings the gospel of grace to those lost in the darkness of cultic bondage. He is a former Mormon who spent twenty years of his adult life as a member of the LDS Church before becoming a Christian. He was a member of the “Holy Melchizedek” priesthood, a “Temple Mormon” and active in leadership in local LDS churches. Ed has spent the next 30 years researching and writing about Mormonism. Ed is a leading Christian expert on Mormonism. His numerous books, like The Godmakers, Fast Facts On False Teachings, his booklets like To Moroni With Love, movies and other materials on the subject are widely distributed. His website, www.saintsalive.com is among the most active on the internet. Having once been lost, his zeal for souls is the primary force behind his commitment and life’s work.” |

”Real, live Mormon women”: Understanding the role of early twentieth-century LDS Lady Missionaries. $49.99 Missionary work has long been an important aspect of Christianity. At least as early as the 1870′s, Protestant women began journeys to foreign lands to work as missionaries and teach people about Christianity, both the spiritual dimension and the lifestyle. These were primarily independent women who sought to enlarge the women’s sphere from the confined, domestic life to which they were accustomed and because of its decline by the 1930′s, historians have often labeled these missions as a “feminist movement.”;Meanwhile, in 1898, their counterparts from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also began filling missions, but with a different purpose. These women, known as “Lady Missionaries,” did not seek out the new role, but were assigned by Church leaders to share the Mormon message and to show that Mormon women were something other than the stereotypical downtrodden, polygamous wives often portrayed by the media.;The greatest evolution of the Lady Missionary program occurred during its first three decades as the LDS Church defined the role of the Lady Missionary and established guidelines for all to follow. Three women of this period are Inez Knight, Stella Sudweeks, and LaRetta Gibbons. Knight, the first Lady Missionary, labored in England from 1898-1900, where she stood on corners as an example of a “real, live Mormon woman” and faced religious persecution from non-Mormons. Sudweeks filled her mission in the mid-West from 1910-1912, where she had been motivated by anti-Mormon sentiments, but faced less difficulties than Inez while sharing her message and also had more training and established expectations than those previously. Finally, Gibbons worked form 1933-1935, mostly in Colorado, where she spent comparatively more time among new converts teaching them their role within the Church and encouraging them to share their religion with neighbors. Their accounts and experiences show that women have long had a steady and significant role in the LDS |

A Short Encounter With The Latter-Day Saints $10.57 The faith of ‘The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ was not an important matter to the local Vicar until they built a massive Temple in his parish! Apart from the sheer size of the building, he soon learned that the matter was of considerable importance because of the challenge to catholic Christianity which went with it. The challenge is that they are the only true Church. Such a claim by a backwater cult would not matter, but this was by an alternative spirituality with a presence in as many countries as the Roman Catholic church. This book describes his getting to know the new neighbours while at the same time learning their beliefs and the way they are lived with no pre-judgemental thought of denigrating them. This fact-finding journey took a circuitous route: from visiting the early LDS settlement at Nauvoo (USA,) attending a ‘Mormon Studies’ Conference at Durham (UK,) meeting the Temple- and Missionary Training- Presidents in the new Preston Temple, and living with LDS families in New Zealand around the first Temple built outside America. This was followed by extensive academic study. The result is to see the Latter-day Saints as a people with a sustaining, and in many ways a fulfilling, faith but not one which justifies their claim that all other churches apostatized soon after the earthly life of Jesus Christ. This is the heart of their belief: that they form the Christian Church restored as Jesus had always meant it to be, in these ‘latter days’ . |

Affirmation: Gay $63.99 Affirmation: Gay & Lesbian Mormons is an international organization for gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, and intersex people who identify as members or ex-members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Affirmation holds that “homosexuality and homosexual relationships can be consistent with and supported by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Under the name Affirmation: Gay Mormons United, the first Affirmation group was organized in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 11, 1977 by Stephan Zakharias and a group of other Mormon and ex-Mormons Gays and Lesbians. It was started after two friends of Zakharias (a gay Brigham Young University student) committed suicide after participating in electric shock therapy experiments administered by BYU’s Psychology Department, spearheaded by Dr. D. Eugene Thorne and PhD candidate Max Ford McBride in 1976. The original group struggled to survive until 1978, when Paul Mortensen formed the Los Angeles chapter. Through the influence of the Los Angeles chapter, Affirmation groups appeared in many cities around the country. |

All Abraham’s Children: Changing Mormon Conceptions of Race and Lineage $40.8 All Abraham’s Children is Armand L. Mauss’s long-awaited magnum opus on the evolution of traditional Mormon beliefs and practices concerning minorities. He examines how members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have defined themselves and others in terms of racial lineages. Mauss describes a complex process of the broadening of these self-defined lineages during the last part of the twentieth century as the modern Mormon church continued its world-wide expansion through massive missionary work. Mauss contends that Mormon constructions of racial identity have not necessarily affected actual behavior negatively and that in some cases Mormons have shown greater tolerance than other groups in the American mainstream. Employing a broad intellectual historical analysis to identify shifts in LDS behavior over time, All Abraham’s Children is an important commentary on current models of Mormon historiography. |
