I have amassed a rather large library on the subject of mormonism (over 300 books, articles, dvd's, and videos), and this book was so incredibly helpful for actually talking to missionaries. James White is a brilliant Theologian. In this book he wonderfully presents arguments that a real missionary would have, and then explains things to him biblically. I learned so much about Orthodox Christian Theology from this book...

This is an excellent book by James White and I heartily recommend it and his book "Is the Mormon My Brother?" which clearly states the case, using the words of LDS leaders themselves, as to why Mormonism is contrary to Christianity.

Lovingly presented and impressively documented, White discusses in detail such issues as the "translation" of the Pearl of Great Price, the prophet status of Joseph Smith, the question of godhood, the divinity of Christ, and the promise of grace. This book surpasses other works written by non-Mormons...
