A recently published book written by Eric Johnson explores topics central to the Christian faith. Many books have been written outlining key beliefs from the Bible, but this book is unique in that it does so with the LDS culture and context in mind. Common misconceptions and unclear terms often make such a task difficult. But Eric Johnson tactfully teaches readers to introduce Christianity to their Mormon neighbor.
