Description

"Wrestling with this and other questions has led Salt Lake City resident David Rowe to a new way of sharing Christ with Latter-day Saints. 'Mormons are three-dimensional human beings with their own culture, lingo, and worldview,' Rowe explains. In evangelism, our words will be more effective if we start by learning and respecting LDS culture. Rowe's keen insights, helpful illustrations, and practical discussion questions will help readers build bridges to Mormon friends and neighbors." (From back cover.)
