In the Mail (January 1988)

[Spelling and grammar not corrected]


As a former Mormon at first it was a heartbreak for me to learn of all the deception. I cried for days and still refused to believe it until I . . . read for myself the very books you had quoted from. But later when I found the real Biblical Jesus my joy far outweighed my heartbreak.

We are both so impressed with your honesty in dealing with all Mormon issues . . . I wish those Mormon people who criticize you and tell you you’re printing lies (they have their heads in the sand) would stop and realize how careful you have been to document everything! . . . A tremendous burden has been released from my shoulders when I found the real Jesus.

(Letter from Idaho)


After 30 years of being extremely active in the “Mormon” Church, I no longer believe in the origins of the church as the church teaches it! I have been doing some reading and am grateful for the information that people like you have given so much energy to dispense. THANK YOU.

(Letter from California)


I wanted to take this opportunity to write to you and thank you for all the research you have done. Your books have been very informative and well documented. I had been a member of the LDS Church for over 12 years and recently left the Church. My wife had been born and raised in the Church and she has some relatives who are General Authorities. . . . I had served a mission, was married in the Temple, served as a Temple Worker, and was in a Bishopric. I found that coming out of Mormonism would not be easy. But the Lord took us in His hands and we are so grateful that we have come to really know God and the true Gospel, as it is contained in the Bible.

(Letter from Colorado)


It was [Mormonism] Shadow or Reality given to me by a good Christian to read, that led me my wife and my family of 5 children out of the Mormon faith. We are whole people now, and are still very grateful for your untiring work!

(Letter from California)


First I would like to thank you for your book Mormonism—Shadow or Reality? I purchased it in January. I have since left the Church and I am now trying to get my husband to read it.

(Letter from New York)


Thank you for your diligent work & ministry to the Mormons. Can you realize how many lives you touch & help begin the process of seeing the errors of Mormonism? I know your work is tedious, & you strive for accuracy & honesty. Your books have helped me tremendously in coming to the Lord, and I want to express my appreciation to you. . . . Nothing in my 25 years as an active temple Mormon can compare in the joy I have now & the great light of knowledge & learning that helps me grow in Christ.

(Letter from California)


A few years ago I came across a copy of your book Mormonism—Shadow or Reality? It was instrumental in my leaving the Mormon church. I was a student at BYU at the time.

(Letter from New Jersey)


I can’t begin to thank you enough for the vast amounts of information you have produced to help me see the truth. I almost fell into the “web” of Mormonism . . . Jesus Christ is now the #1 love of my life. . . . I really can’t express my love and devotion towards you and your work.

(Letter from Texas)


After 26 yrs in Mormonism, I have finally been fully converted to Christianity. I was a high priest, and at one point a counselor in the bishopric. Your books and mailings played a role in helping me to see the falsity of Mormonism.

(Letter from California)


Thank you for your honesty, & helping us to find Christ. Please keep sending the Messenger.

(Letter from Utah)
