Description

From back cover:

Two well-dressed, clean cut young men stand politely at your front door. They introduce themselves as missionaries going door-to-door sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. As they continue, you note the similarities between their professions and your Christian beliefs. When doctrinal differences do arise, your visitors seemingly dismantle your contentions in lieu of their own. Soon many of your long-held beliefs appear to be in shambles and you're left with more questions than answers.

Solving the Mormon Puzzle is the Christian's ideal tool for defending their faith against the attacks of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It contains a detailed analysis of essential issues, supported by hundreds of quotations, citations and photocopies of actual Mormon publications and manuscripts, giving the Christian a clear picture of what the Mormon Church is . . . and is not.

Solving the Mormon Puzzle also illuminates and applies truth in a practical way, providing nearly eighty pages of witnessing tips and dialogues based on actual conversations between Christians and Mormons. These decisive and useful exchanges illustrate how Christians may speak the truth in love when challenged with Mormon doctrine.
