After experiencing the devastation of losing one of our identical twin boys, I was exposed to a world of sorrow formerly unimagined. With new eyes opened to the heartbreak of the women surrounding me, I undertook the daunting task of researching the universality of suffering, primarily by documenting the stories of 50 women concentrated in a five-mile radius. These accounts of tragedy and hope are intermingled with scriptural accounts, the words of modern-day apostles and prophets, psychological and sociological views, as well as my own experiences.

On an inky moonlit night, in Dupax Del Norte, an Igorot man would share with me the legend of the Ayturi tree, the symbol of the kings of Ituy. A Tuy was the Igorot king who embodied the ideal of the deep-rooted Ayturi tree. My religion sent me to Ituy to convert the Igorot and Cagayanese people to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, it was my adventure to Ituy that converted me to the way of the Tuy.

Christians often hear or read a detail about LDS (Latter-day Saint, the formal name of the church) beliefs and a biblical response, another detail and response, and so on. They may learn many details but not grasp the "big picture". This is an effort to help Christians see the "big picture" of the Mormon plan and a "big picture" response.

In January of 2015, I stood in an upper room of the Brooklyn Borough in New York City to see the St. Francis of Assissi exhibition. I reflected on our own history as a young church - our own cycles of decline and renewal, crisis and change. I specifically thought about the current crisis catering on rejecting behavior towards the queer Latter-day Saints.

The Danish-Mormon migration to Utah in the 19th century was, relative to population size, one of the largest European religious out-migrations in history. Hundreds of thousands of Americans can trace their ancestry to Danish Mormons, but few know about the social and cultural ramifications of their ancestors’ conversion to Mormonism. This book tells that exciting and complex story for the first time.

Mormonland is the raw confessional memoir of a Mormon boy who grew up in a small western town and pursued the Hollywood dream. He devoted five decades of his life to a church filled with highly questionable doctrine, troubling temple rituals, and never-ending expectations. What outsiders may call racist, sexist, and cult-like practices, insiders call God-given, the true Family Proclamation, and too sacred to share.

Suicide of a loved one stands right up there near the top of the most painful, least talked about, most misunderstood events in life. It happened to me in September of 2004, when my son Brian slit his wrists and bled to death. I’ve been a professional writer for 40 years, so the most natural thing in the world was for me to pour my thoughts and feelings onto the page and to research everything I could find about the subject. Nearly seven years in the making, the result is a book titled After My Son’s Suicide: An LDS Mother Finds Peace in Christ and Strength to Go On.

David Holland shows the book of Moroni to be an intentionally organized collection of artifacts, pointing listeners toward the transformative power of divine love. He interprets Moroni’s teachings as a “theology of the gift” - a doctrinal depiction of a God whose nature is to give. This theology powerfully reminds Latter-day Saints that the ordinances we observe, the community we serve, and the talents we develop are all gifts designed to draw us toward the culminating bestowal of Christlike love.

In this brief theological introduction, Daniel Becerra enlists 3 and 4 Nephi as aids in the disciple's pursuit of Christ and Christlikeness. What do these books reveal about divine nature, human nature, and the means of bridging the gap between the two? Becerra places Christ at the center of all theological thinking in his interpretation of these remarkable books of scripture. He proposes that the fullest expression of discipleship Christlikeness can only be found in community and collaboration.

We are navigating an era where digital interactions and political polarization are on the rise. Too often, the collateral damage is our emotional health. Isolation can kill people from the inside out. But there is an antidote. Through stories, analogies, and humor, I See You invites each of us to face the battle against separation head-on. As we commit to listen, protect, and love each other more fiercely, we will see those who need us most. People all around us are praying for relief. We can answer their plea. We might even be their miracle.

In this brief theological introduction, literary scholar Rosalynde Frandsen Welch explores the book of Ether, a sweeping history in which Moroni, absorbed in the past, turns his heart to future readers whose spiritual fate will be at stake. According to Welch, Moroni's work as translator-prophet brilliantly reframes the nature of scripture itself. Like the brother of Jared's luminous stones, Moroni's offering glows with his powerful testimony of Christ. In faith, his record extends the promise of Christ's saving power to people in every place and time.

With the advancement of the internet, changing worldviews, and the rising generation of millennials, Latter-day Saints today face unique challenges to faith on an unprecedented scale. Unlike most books written to help those struggling with their testimonies, Bridges: Ministering to Those Who Question is written to help local leaders and family members better understand the sources of these challenges and how to minister to those affected by them.

This book addresses a dilemma all who want to be faithful member missionaries face, especially those preparing to serve full-time: “How do I share the gospel of Jesus Christ with others in a comfortable and natural way?” In traditional, Church-supported missionary training centers, those who have been called to serve are generously and ably taught what to say.

The Restoration began in the spring of 1820, when Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ in a grove of trees in upstate New York. Joseph had questions, and Jesus had answers. That was 200 years ago. As the Restoration enters its third century, the world has new questions. A loving God has answers. In Restoration, scholar and author Patrick Mason reflects on what it means for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to participate in the ongoing Restoration.
