Synopsis

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) has 90,000 missionaries in the field, seeking to convert members of Christian churches. Because the lessons these missionaries teach represent the core claims of Mormonism, this book interacts with those lessons from a biblical perspective.

Written and edited by former Mormons who are now Christians, it includes insider knowledge, personal stories, cultural insights, evangelistic wisdom, and best practices from former LDS missionaries themselves, to help Christians fortify their own faith while learning how to share their faith wisely and effectively with Latter-day Saints.


I loved this book! There is a lot of wisdom here for the compassionate Christian who wants to be effective in witnessing to the Mormon missionary, returned missionary, or their LDS neighbor.
Dr. Paul Robie
Founding pastor of Utah’s largest church, South Mountain Community Church

LDS missionaries are coming, and they need you to engage them with the good news that faith alone in Christ alone saves! This book fills a major void in equipping Christians to that end.
Dr. Bryan Hurlbutt
Lead pastor of Lifeline Community in West Jordan, Utah

For the Christian who wants to better communicate with those Mormons who come to their doors, as well as with their Mormon friends and family members, this resource will prove to be an educational primer in considering the fundamental concepts of Mormonism.
Eric Johnson
Cohost of Viewpoint on Mormonism

I recommend this book to anyone seeking to better understand and talk with their LDS friends.
Sandra Tanner
President of Utah Lighthouse Ministry

This is an excellent resource for Christians who desire to understand and witness to Mormon missionaries. Readers should discover insights that enable them to have fruitful discussions with LDS missionaries.
Dr. Lynn Wilder
Founder of Ex-Mormon Christians United for Jesus

This is the perfect book for any Christian who wants to understand his Mormon neighbors.
Jeremy Howard
Staff pastor at Orchard Hills Bible Church in Payson, UT
