Excerpts from Letters (December 1995)

[Spelling and grammar not corrected]

I can’t thank you enough for what has happened to my son who went on a mission last AUG. He left the mission last week and left the church too. Someone had left a copy of Mormonism—Shadow or Reality in the apt. that they moved into. He read it and two weeks later left all behind. I had tried to talk him out of the Mormon bit and especially the mission but he wouldn’t listen. Your book accomplished everything INSTANTLY. I can’t imagine how that book got to be in that apt. at that time but I expect its nothing short of a miracle. God bless you both.

(Letter from Oregon)

I am a prior Mormon myself and your work was instrumental in my leaving ‘the church.’ You do the tedious research and investigation that most Christians don’t have the time to do full-time. Your materials have helped me in my witnessing and church classes.

(Letter from Alabama)

I appreciate the work you’re doing. Your ministry helped me to leave Mormonism and become a true Christian.

(Letter from Hawaii)

. . . I’ve read your book The Changing World of Mormonism and got a lot out of it. I just recently left the Mormon Church and became a Born Again Christian. . . . I was a member for 24 years . . . I’m really interested in starting a ministry in my new church in the area of helping Mormons find Christ . . .

(Letter from Ohio)

I have been wavering about the church after reading some of your literature passed to me by a friend. This has finally clinched it for me & after being active for 50 years I will never go back. . . . I am so grateful to you both for the hard work & effort . . . I have made my decision & I thank my Heavenly Father & you people for being there to help me . . . I finally feel so much better about myself . . . but I am sorry that I . . . wasted so much time.

(Letter from Alberta, Canada)

I want to thank you so much for your precious work . . . I am 24 years old, 5th generation Mormon. In the past couple of years I’ve had so many doubts about the church, and all my questions went unanswered! My bishops told me not to worry about such things . . . After reading ‘A Gathering of Saints’ and ‘The Changing World of Mormonism’ I am positive it is very wrong. My fiancé was taking the [missionary] lessons & you’ve helped us both get out!! Now I’ve given material to my friend . . . who has been doubting since she was married in the L.V. Temple three years ago. She’s ready to leave now too. . . . I am so scared of the reaction I will have . . . But I feel so free now I can find the true Christ!!

(Letter from Nevada)

I can’t say all the words of thanks on this little paper. But please know that your hard work has been an instrument through which God was finally able to reach me . . . Thank you Sandra for giving my now husband a tape & words of encouragement. I’m so glad he didnt give up on me!

(Letter from Utah)

I myself am a former Mormon Missionary who left my mission . . . I’ve accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Savior and been born Again.

(Letter from Pennsylvania)
