A NEW BOOK WITH A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE -- "IMMERSION IN MORMONISM"
The Author, Charles Abbott, joined the Church when he was only twenty. Since that time he has served in many church callings including, in his words, "Everything from Bishop to chair and table stacker."
All members of the Church, even those born into it, must become converts at some point as they develop testimonies of their own. And then, when they acquire a testimony, their next job is to keep it. President Spencer W. Kimball taught that the fight against Satan and his forces is not a little skirmish with a half-willed antagonist, but a battle royal with an enemy so powerful, entrenched, and organized that we are likely to be vanquished if we are not strong, well-trained, and watchful.
Abbott brings a unique perspective to his subject. The book is easy-to-read, conversational in tone, and punctuated with humor. And, as a convert who has not just talked the talk, but who has walked the walk, he gives street-smart advice on how to withstand the slings and arrows of the adversary while building a bullet-proof testimony.
PRAISES FROM WELL-KNOWN AUTHORS:
"Being a convert myself at the age of 18, I appreciated the insight Charles provided regarding the adversary's relentless efforts to try to drive a wedge between new converts and their fledgling testimonies. I appreciated his insightful logic and easy, conversational tone. No matter how strong we think our testimonies are, this book presents an invaluable opportunity to self evaluate our choices and convictions, reminding us that doubts will always flee when placed in the gospel light of Jesus Christ." Chris Heimerdinger, author/director Passage to Zarahemla and The Tennis Shoes Adventure Series.
