In this, the most recent addition to the approved missionary personal library, Elder M. Russell Ballard explains the Church and LDS beliefs in a clear and inoffensive way. Elder Ballard discusses the Apostasy, the need for the Restoration, the Book of Mormon, the priesthood, the plan of salvation, the Articles of Faith, the Word of Wisdom, temples, missionary work, and benefits of living the gospel. Through personal experiences he reveals how the gospel has benefitted him and concludes by bearing his testimony.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book; simple, down to earth explanations of LDS theology
    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This has become one of my favorite books, and I have re-read it multiple times. Ballard does an expert job of spelling out the basics of LDS theology in simple terms and with everyday examples. The beauty of this book is its ability to appeal to such a wide-ranging audience; from someone who knows little or nothing of the LDS church and beliefs to the life-long member with deep knowledge of doctrine.

    For those who are being introduced to the LDS church for the first time, this is a wonderful introduction and a way to familiarize yourself with not only what the beliefs are, but the "why" behind it all.

    For longtime members of the LDS church who find so much of the gospel wonderful and inspiring, it can be difficult to know where to start or what to focus on when curious acquaintances inquire about beliefs. The last thing anyone wants is to overwhelm the curious mind who speaks up with a simple question with an extended discourse. This book does a wonderful job of concisely linking many of the practices and gospel beliefs behind them.

    For anyone between this is a great book that will explain, uplift, and inspire. I have loved reading this book every time I have read it. I have loved giving it as a gift to friends who are interested in knowing more, but maybe aren't open to meeting with missionaries just yet. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This book is an excellent read. It's very easy to understand and it gets down to the nitty gritty as to why there was an apostasy and why there had to be a restoration of the Gospel. I bought this book because I had questions, many questions, and this book really helped to answer those questions for me. It really pulls it together, many of the beliefs of the Mormon Church, and the answers are easy to read. This book should be read by every investigator! It should be read by anyone who is interested in learning more about the LDS Church, it's just that good. I am getting ready to read it a second time, it's a book that will be on my book shelf forever. This book made a huge impact on my life.
    When you are finished with this book, you should read the next one, When Thou Art Converted, another great book by M. Russell Ballard.

    The book arrived with the glossy cover peeling off. Several half circles missing on the back cover. I wish I could have returned it, but it was part of a gift I needed to give.
    The book is very informative and I enjoyed it a lot. The author makes it easy to understand and not preachy.

    Verified Purchase
    This book was recommended to me by a family member who is Mormon. I found it useful in understanding what Mormon's believe. Reading the electronic version gave me the opportunity to make lots of notes and comparisons to what the Bible teaches. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand Mormon beliefs and be able to discuss how they relate (or do not) to what is in the Bible. It is a great tool for witnessing to Mormons about their beliefs.

    I love this book, It was given to me after a late miscarriage, and it brought me a lot of peace and comfort.
    I bought it for my aunt who just lost her husband. It isn't just for grief though. It is a great book of hope

    This book accomplishes its task of introducing people to the LDS faith. There are some inaccuracies in the book however. For example, the idea that the bible we have now is a result of series of translation to translation to translation. Overall, good quick read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward, Readable Introduction to the Faith
    Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Straightforward and readable, this presents an accurate introduction to the distinctive beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It doesn't treat the philosophical implications of those beliefs, which I'd hoped it might, but it quickly became clear that was never the intent of the author. I enjoyed being able to learn about this faith tradition without the negative editorializing I've found in some other books.
