Steven Horne is a special guest on Mormon Book Reviews. On this episode we get to hear Steven's story of being raised in an LDS family that has a miraculous history and how he became Born Again reading the Book of Mormon. Steven has a very unusual story to tell and I want to hear from Evangelicals and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about what you think about it. (Of course I am always happy to hear from non-believers and Never-Mo's as well) .

Who is Denver Snuffer? What is the Restoration Movement all about? Special guest Chris VanCampen editor of a book of essays titled "Rescuing the Restoration: The Lord Sets His Hand Again" joins Steven to discuss the project. A while back Brian Hales attempted to put together a book in which various writers would talk about Denver Snuffer and the Restoration Movement. Adrian Larsen wrote the introduction. While the book was never completed, it was thought that Adrian's work could be a foundation for another similar project. We also get to know Chris ,his background, and the role he played as the editor. #denversnuffer #mormonism #latterdaysaints #lds #ldspodcast

"Christmas Snows Christmas Winds” written by Donald Marshall and produced by Brigham Young University, is a little known Christmas movie from the late 70s that really tugs at your heart strings in an unexpected way and has an unforeseen impact on the viewer. It’s not your typical Christmas movie and in addition to nostalgia from a bygone era, it has an angst that many can relate to. Steve, Rebecca and special guest host Nick of “Pod of Thunder” sit down to watch the movie in its entirety and discuss all the elements that resonate with us. Once you’ve seen "Christmas Snows Christmas Winds,” you will never forget it! Watch along with us and share your thoughts in the comments. We also want to thank the BYU Copyright Department for giving us permission to use the film. Christmas Snows Christmas Winds © Copyright 1978 Brigham Young University.

Did Elvis really have a copy of The Book of Mormon? Who gave it to him? Rumors have always been flying and Steve and Rebecca’s guest has his own take on the urban legend. How did Milli Vanilli pull off their famous Grammy lip-sinc? What was Liberace like behind the scenes? How does it feel to play “Happy Birthday” for Johnny Carson? The world famous Gaynor Brunson gives us the inside scoop. As a faithful Latter Day Saint, Gaynor Brunson has spent decades in the music business beginning right off his LDS mission when he and his brothers formed a trumpet band, The Brunson Brothers. Arriving in Las Vegas with nothing more than their trumpets and a lot of determination, their rise to fame is an incredible and entertaining story you almost can’t believe. The Brunson Brothers eventually opened their own music studio on Sunset Boulevard and rubbed elbows with music’s elite crowd. They later brought the studio home to Utah where Gaynor continues to produce music for the biggest names in Mormon entertainment. Prepare to be amazed as we get the incredible and true story from Gaynor Brunson himself! #elvispresley #mormonism #latterdaysaints #ldspodcast #osmondbrothers #liberace

Brant Gardner, expert on the Meso-American model of Book of Mormon Geography, engages Evangelical Steven Pynakker. While this program has hosted many advocates of the Heartland Model of BOM events, I have been wanting someone on to discuss the Meso Model. We discuss anachronisms, possible landing sites for Lehi and the Jaredites, and Michael Coe's criticisms of a Meso setting for Book of Mormon events.

David Read author of the book "Face of a Nephite: DNA studies & the Book of Mormon" is the latest guest on Mormon Book Reviews. David asked to come on to address some of the criticisms that Thomas Murphy and Simon Southerton leveled against his book both in a paper they co-wrote as well as an appearence on MBR. My hope is that this interview will help facilitate positve dialogue. #latterdaysaints #bookofmormon #ldspodcast
