Books - Print

Mormon America Book $16 (includes Priority Mail shipping of 2-3 business days)

Richard N. Ostling and Joan K. Ostlings book which grew out of a 1997 Time magazine cover story. It represents "a candid but non-polemical" overview of the Church, beginning with its founding by Joseph Smith Jr. in 1830 and continuing to the present day.

I Love Mormons Book $15 (includes Priority Mail shipping of 2-3 business days)

How can Christians speak the Good News to Mormons so that it really sounds like good news? 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 to build bridges to Mormon friends and neighbors.

Claiming Christ $17 (includes Priority Mail shipping of 2-3 business days)

Ask an evangelical and a Mormon what the other believes, and you may get many opinions, not all of them accurate. Ask professors Gerald McDermott and Robert Millet to discuss their beliefs, and you get a frank, informative comparison of both. Though sometimes on opposite poles, these scholars and close friends are determined to model love and respect despite serious theological differences. In a debate format, the authors focus on the person and role of Jesus while exploring such issues as authority for faith and practice, whether Mormons are Christians, the elements of salvation, and the church and its sacraments. Used for a class series, small group resource, or devotional reflection, this volume will give thoughtful readers of all persuasions a greater understanding of two significant outlooks on faith.

Welcome All Wonders Book $16 (includes Priority Mail shipping of 2-3 business days)

Welcome All Wonders is at once a revealing look at Mormonism, the fascinating story of J.A.C. Redford's development as a composer, and the inspiring testimony of how God used music and art to speak to one man's heart and change him forever.

Encountering New Religious Movements $19 (includes Priority Mail shipping of 2-3 business days)

Using historical and biblical accounts, the authors present practical advice for evangelizing practitioners of new religions-using approaches similar to those used to reach foreign people groups.

"This book is must reading for those involved in cross-cultural witness, especially to new religionists. Most evangelicals will be stimulated and challenged by it. The subtitle, A Holistic Evangelical Approach, does not reflect a dilution of revealed truth but rather a cross-cultural perspective in presenting truth effectively by marrying missiology to apologetics for effective evangelism. It points us toward approaching new religionists the same way intercultural missionaries approach animists, atheists, secularists, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, or any other belief system presenting the gospel in culturally sensitive ways and using terms they can understand as we seek to love them to saving faith in Christ." (William T. Commons, Criswell Theological Review )

Beyond The Burning Times $15 (includes Priority Mail shipping of 2-3 business days)

This new book represents a bold and significant step towards improving the relations between Pagans and Christians. The authors – a Pagan and a Christian - help each group to understand better the beliefs and practices of the other through a series of dialogues about their spiritual practices and beliefs, examining the commonalities and differences between the two traditions and clearing away potential misconceptions.

Although frequently not in agreement, the authors are always respectful of each other’s practices and opinions as they discuss a wide range of topics under six main headings: The Nature of Spirituality; The Divine; Nature; Humans and the Divine; Jesus and Spiritual Authority; and Paganism, Christianity and the Culture Wars. At the end of the book, two more authors - a Christian and a Pagan – comment on the main dialogue.

An Insider's View of Mormon Origins $20 (includes Priority Mail shipping of 2-3 business days)

Over the past thirty years, an enormous amount of research has been conducted into Mormon origins--Joseph Smith's early life, the Book of Mormon, the prophet's visions, and the restoration of priesthood authority. Longtime LDS educator Grant H. Palmer suggests that most Latter-day Saints remain unaware of the significance of these discoveries. He therefore gives a brief survey of the literature for all who have ever wanted to know more about the New Mormon History.

He finds that what we take for granted as literal history has been tailored over the years for missionary purposes--slightly modified, added to, one aspect emphasized over another--to the point that the original narratives have been nearly lost. What was experienced as a spiritual event, something from an entirely different dimension, has been often refashioned as if it had been a physical, objective occurrence. This is not how the first Saints interpreted these events. Historians have reevaluated basic concepts surrounding these foundational stories and restored elements, including a nineteenth-century world view, that have been misunderstood, if not forgotten.

The Mission of God: Unlocking the Bible's Grand Narrative $28 (includes Priority Mail shipping of 2-3 business days)

Winner, 2007 Christianity Today Missions/Global Affairs Book Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. But Christopher Wright boldly maintains that mission is bigger than that--there is in fact a missional basis for the Bible! The entire Bible is generated by and is all about God's mission. In order to understand the Bible, we need a missional hermeneutic of the Bible, an interpretive perspective that is in tune with this great missional theme. We need to see the "big picture" of God's mission and how the familiar bits and pieces fit into the grand narrative of Scripture. Beginning with the Old Testament and the groundwork it lays for understanding who God is, what he has called his people to be and do, and how the nations fit into God's mission, Wright gives us a new hermeneutical perspective on Scripture. This new perspective provides a solid and expansive basis for holistic mission. Wright emphasizes throughout a holistic mission as the proper shape of Christian mission. God's mission is to reclaim the world--and that includes the created order--and God's people have a designated role to play in that mission.

Burning Man Festival: A Life Enhancing, Post-Christendom, "Middle Way" $70.00

  Purchase here

John W. Morehead has an MA in intercultural studies from Salt Lake Theological Seminary. His research areas include new religions, and religion and popular culture. He is the Director of the Western Institute for Intercultural Studies.

"Burning Man Festival is an intentional community and alternative cultural event involving 50,000 people that meet annually in the desert of Nevada. Scholarly analysis of the festival tends to interpret it through Victor Turner’s framework of liminality and ritual. While this perspective sheds valuable light on understanding the event, other theoretical frameworks are helpful, including the “homeless mind” and secondary institutions thesis of Peter Berger, Brigitte Berger, and Hansfried Kellner used to explain the 1960s counterculture, updated by Paul Heelas and Linda Woodhead to include the turn to the self now involving life-enhancing secondary institutions. Hakim Bey’s Temporary Autonomous Zone also presents promising interpretive options for understanding this event. From these perspectives, Burning Man may be understood as an alternative cultural event that functions as a secondary institution and new spiritual outlet in rejection of mainstream institutions and religion."

Man of Holiness: The Mormon Search for a Personal God $10.99

Purchase here

Robert L. Millet, Professor of Ancient scripture and religious education, outreach and interfaith relations at Brigham Young University:

“Serious efforts to understand Mormonism in a non-confrontational, non-polemical way are few and far between. In this book the author, John Bracht, has drawn together a multitude of LDS sources in order to demonstrate differences between Mormonism and ‘traditional’ Christian views on the nature of God and the Godhead. While most LDS readers would no doubt disagree with some of Bracht’s conclusions, they would at least have to admit that he has paid a price to grapple solidly with the available evidence and has done so in an irenic and dignified manner. This is a work worth engaging.”

Apologetics, Mission and New Religious Movements: A Holistic Approach $10.99

Purchase here

Professor Irving Hexham, Department of Religious Studies, University of Calgary:

"It is this search for balance, and his real desire to speak into living situations, that sets Johnson’s work apart from earlier studies of cults and new religions. At the same time his work is innovative in other ways. Recognizing the limitations of a purely rationalistic approach to the beliefs of non-Christians, he points out the importance of understanding why people believe what they believe, and the social costs and benefits of such beliefs."

 

Perspectives on Post-Christendom Spiritualities: Reflections on New Religious Movements and Western Spiritualities $10.99

  Purchase here

Harold A. Netland, Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Intercultural Studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and author of Encountering Religious Pluralism:

"The chapters that follow are especially significant for several reasons. First, the authors draw upon the best of recent scholarship in the field, and indeed among the contributors are some of the leading scholars in the study of new religious movements. There is here a wealth of information and careful analysis which will enable better understanding of an often confusing subject. Second, the authors adopt a respectful tone toward their subject, rejecting the “cult bashing” attitudes of some Christians. The concern throughout is to understand the phenomena, not to castigate or ridicule. Third, while the contributors’ objective is to understand these movements and to portray them accurately they also write from a desire that followers of the new religious movements would come to faith in Jesus Christ."
