Really Inside Mormonism: Confessions of a Mere Latter-day Christian
Robert D. Starling
After 30 years of responding to negative statements and articles, Robert has gathered together many sources, beliefs and thoughts to publish a 450 page book. I find it interesting pursuing many paths on Mormonism from a "Latter-day Christian." Some tops:
