The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) has 90,000 missionaries in the field, seeking to convert members of Christian churches. Because the lessons these missionaries teach represent the core claims of Mormonism, this book interacts with those lessons from a biblical perspective.
Written and edited by former Mormons who are now Christians, it includes insider knowledge, personal stories, cultural insights, evangelistic wisdom, and best practices from former LDS missionaries themselves, to help Christians fortify their own faith while learning how to share their faith wisely and effectively with Latter-day Saints.
I loved this book! There is a lot of wisdom here for the compassionate Christian who wants to be effective in witnessing to the Mormon missionary, returned missionary, or their LDS neighbor.
Dr. Paul Robie
Founding pastor of Utah’s largest church, South Mountain Community Church
LDS missionaries are coming, and they need you to engage them with the good news that faith alone in Christ alone saves! This book fills a major void in equipping Christians to that end.
Dr. Bryan Hurlbutt
Lead pastor of Lifeline Community in West Jordan, Utah
For the Christian who wants to better communicate with those Mormons who come to their doors, as well as with their Mormon friends and family members, this resource will prove to be an educational primer in considering the fundamental concepts of Mormonism.
Eric Johnson
Cohost of Viewpoint on Mormonism
I recommend this book to anyone seeking to better understand and talk with their LDS friends.
Sandra Tanner

This is an excellent resource for Christians who desire to understand and witness to Mormon missionaries. Readers should discover insights that enable them to have fruitful discussions with LDS missionaries.
Dr. Lynn Wilder
Founder of Ex-Mormon Christians United for Jesus
This is the perfect book for any Christian who wants to understand his Mormon neighbors.

1 review for Responding to the Mormon Missionary Message
I found this book very helpful and full of information about the LDS church. The book takes each section of the Mormon text “Preach My Gospel” and explains what Mormons believe about that section and how as Christians we can answer them.
Too few Christians know how to answer the missionaries when they knock on their door using familiar church words such as salvation and justification. It is mainly because we don’t read our own Bibles and that’s why Christians get angry at them. We have to remember that they train for two years before being sent out into the mission field so they are well prepared.
The book says several times that we should handle them with love. And the book is right. The way that we can do that is by one studying our own Bible and two reading this helpful book.
I thought I knew a lot about the Mormon faith. But I learned a lot more about the Mormon faith by reading this book. I highly recommend this book. It will be a helpful tool for anyone who encounters the missionaries and it is also great to read as a resource.
