I suggest this book for reading for anyone who wants to add some knowledge to his/her testimony. I know testimony comes thru the witness of the Holy Ghost but to testify to people who criticize the church, you must have knowledge of what their attacks are and the answer those attacks.
I just finished it this morning while I was on the bus.

What are some of the so-called "anti-Mormon critisms" Mike identifies?
(Actually, I already know most of them as I've watched him write this book based on reactionary thinking at MADB. However, I do admit I've not read the book. But I've seen the "Shaken Faith Syndrome" discussed ad nauseum, especially by one or two fanatic members of MADB, who think they can spot a troll every time, but who, often, are wrong.
In fact, rarely does a member of MADB acknowledge a person is not necessarily an anti-Mormon if they just like to study the Church's history.
I would love to see a panel discussion between Ash and Bushman. Seriously, they would probably agree more than I would think, but then I think Bushman would can Ash a number of times as well.
