he has also written some political books - 5000 year leap etc. etc. The above is one of my fave from him. I love the "little mother" story, I think it explains the atonement well.

If one reads it, you find some interesting truths within.

First mistake of assumption by the writer does not really know how people convert. It various among many of us converts but the same testimony sings the same tune. It is not only the belief on the Prophet Joseph Smith; it is matter if GOD talks to HIS children this day. Implying his textual thoughts being on the outside is a clear case of one owns lacking of understanding the Gospel of Jesus Christ; even if he is a professor of religion.

A clear example of mistakes found, is the amount of errors found in our own history book. So taking this as an example, there will be errors from the days of Nephi when rewriting his own history for exactness to the first copy of the Book of Mormon from printers setting up the type sets. It just happens. Even my own undertaking of several thousand pages of personal journal has it errors when I had to rewrite it.

If the professor took the time to read the Book of Mormon for himself, he will walk away of amount testament of the Savior throughout the book. This is the message – another witness of Jesus Christ – in serving His other sheep.

I hardly doubt this was the case of Church leaders not wanting this to be publishing…who was these church leaders? Implying something that has no names or linkage to the persons is unworthy journalism. There is no heartburn of truths and that we are fallible as humans.

Again, what is the true intent of the Book of Mormon for us this day? If one can understand this simple implication, then you know why the book was saved for us and translated by a special dispensational prophet – it is for our edification, our salvation, and a testament that Jesus is the very Christ and begotten of the FATHER.
