Comments on "A Friendly Discussion"
“...As I was reading the manuscript
my wife frequently turned to me and said, ‘How come I have never heard of this?’... My favorite [chapter] is still
the women in the Book of Mormon."
–– Simon Southerton
Author of Losing a Lost
Tribe
“This is a fabulous book! It unfolds as a conversation between a recently-returning
missionary and a knowledgeable ‘investigator’ of the church... It is the kind of book which can be read in one
sitting (over the course of just a few hours) or it can be digested on a chapter-by-chapter basis.”
–– Jarom Smith
Director, Exmormon Foundation
“A Friendly Discussion will be become, in my opinion, one
of the standard ‘must-haves’ for those accumulating information about Mormonism... If you have any interest in
the ‘meat’ of Mormonism, as a member already, or someone who has a family member or friend contemplating joining
the Mormon church, this book will provide information and material most of the general public does not know about this religion.
I highly recommend it.”

“... methodically looks at various claims, evaluates the evidence, and advances logically
consistent conclusions regarding the validity of Mormon assertions... For those who're new to Mormonism this
is an excellent book for summarizing some of the most damaging arguments in opposition to LDS claims. I highly recommend it“
–– Duwayne Anderson
Author of Farewell to Eden
“I was very impressed not only with how well written and researched it was... I believe that
this work will be of great value to Christians in understanding many of the vulnerabilities of Mormonism.”
–– Charles Larson

By His Own Hand Upon Papyrus
“...a very readable book in an interesting conversational format, one that will appeal and be especially interesting
and informative for those who know very little about the Mormon faith.”
–– Grant Palmer
Author of An Insider’s View of Mormonism
“...well-written,
easy flowing, well-informed and cleverly presented... l really like the chapter on women in the Book of
Mormon. The contrast with the Bible is quite compelling...I really enjoyed the book. I think it is accessible
and well done.”
–– Thomas W. Murphy

“I
highly recommend this book to anyone who has the courage to be open minded."
–– Arza Evans
Author of The Keystone of Mormonism
“...thought-provoking, captivating, realistic dialogue between two fair-minded people of
opposing convictions.”
–– Brad Morin
Co-author of Suddenly Strangers
“Anyone who is going to be discussing Mormonism with a Mormon has here
a ready-made script for a discussion that should give any Mormon second thoughts about his religion...well-researched,
well-reasoned and easy-to-read."
