Book Overview

Criticisms of the LDS Church are frequently based on intentional misinterpretations of Mormon doctrine. This book provides useful clarifications and rebuttals of many of those misrepresented doctrinal and historical areas. It gives simple but authoritative answers to more than sixty often-asked questions posed by anti-Mormon detractors. The answers are direct and non-confrontational, providing readers with a friendly, teaching way of responding to those who question them. ?+ The author points out pertinent biblical parallels to many situations. His answers are supported by appropriate scriptures, statements of modern prophets, writings of ancient Christian leaders, and corroborating findings by modern non-LDS scholars.?+ Brother Gibson encountered his first anti-Mormon book while serving in the Scottish-Irish Mission in the early 1960s. Disturbed by what he read, he and a fellow missionary analyzed the inconsistencies in the book. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in communications. He and his wife, Bette, were married in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of four children. His hobbies include mentoring several small businesses, reading, teaching, and speaking. He has served in numerous Church callings, including two bishoprics. From Clergy to Convert is his first book.

1 minute anwsers to anti-mormon questions

Answers are well documented and directly on point with no more information than is needed. Very useful!

Some good responses...but a little harsh with the title...

This book was good in that it provided some quick, logical and rational answers to the questions posed by critics of Joseph Smith and the LDS church. It provided some brief and precise rebuttals with scripture and similar defenses from the bible. For example, the question as to why the Book of Commandments had changes in the texts when it became the modern D & C is answered with the example of Jeremiah changing a revelation - and by changing I mean adding to and expounding, which is what Joseph and other church leaders did - for King Jehoiakim. Don't believe me, check out Jeremiah 36 and 2 Timothy 3:16. Anyways, that is just one example that shows some sound and reasonable rebuttals against even some of the most vicious attacks against Joseph Smith. And it does it in a quick and snappy way. It does not stretch on, though that may prove to be the more appropriate thing to do in some cases. But the reason I give this book four stars is because the title was a bit to harsh, I think. There may be some folks who honestly want to know about these things who have no desire to purposely attack the Gospel or Joseph Smith. A better title may have been "One Minute Answers to Tough Questions" or "One Answer Minutes to Critical Questions". But this book still was good and I would recommend it to someone who wants to either see a simple defense to even the most vicious critiques or discover how these "hard hitting" and "faith shaking" questions - which have been stewing around ever since Joseph's First Vision in 1820 - hold little weight under reason and logic.

One Minute Answers to Anti Morman Questions

I encourage all people of the Morman faith, especially those who are young in the faith, to research what has not been revealed to you. You will find that Joseph Smith took many liberties with the text of the KJV Bible. As I found out in the latter part of my Morman journey, this religion is not a christian one. Jesus is not the savior of the Morman faith. Heaven is a planet...God has a wife (Heavanly Mother) who mated w/ God to create celestial beings...the Morman faith has undertook the task of baptising of every living person recorded(within or outside the faith) using stand ins. Joseph Smith, the founder of the religion suffered from alcoholism, was an adulter, and went to jail several times. He named himself the prophet, and appointed 12 disiples,(mirroring Christ)a practice that remains today with Gordan B. Hinckly heading the church. By todays standard, this religion (the world's richest and fastest growing) would no doubt be labled a cult."Do not add or take away from this book, for whosoever shall do so, his name shall be stricken from the book of life." -Revelations Take heed and find out what your church has not revealed to you.

Comprehensive Response

Stephen Gibson reviewed the anti-Mormon literature and decided that their claims could be summarized in 61 questions. Much of the literature was simply repeating the same claims over and over again. If Stephen could be faulted in this work, it might be that he has keep the answers short. But this was not intended to be an exhaustive response. His goal was to correct many incorrect perceptions. I believe it has done a very good job.

Great Book, But It Only Works If You Read It!

This is a valuable book for any member of the LDS Church or anyone curious about the Church. Mr. Gibson categorizes the questions by subject for easy reference, and gives full explanations with scriptural backing. There are many strange accusations out there about the Latter-day Saints. This book helps clear these things up, and shows how unreasonable those accusations can be. Example-The reviewer below, who apparently has not even read the book, but wanted to take a jab at the Church. This is the very reason Mr. Gibson wrote this book, and he did an excellent job.
