Much has been written about Palmyra, the Sacred Grove and the Hill Cumorah in the early years of the Church. But what became of those historic sites after the Prophet Joseph Smith and his family left their small farm in upstate New York? The properties fell into the hands of non-Mormons who became increasingly more prejudiced and belligerent in their hatred towards the Church and its followers. The Saints were driven out of their New York home in 1831. It wasn't until June 10, 1907, that Apostle George Albert Smith was able to purchase the farm for the sum of $16,000. Seven years later, he ...

Big Bang Theory vs. the Bible has a truly unique comparison between two seemingly opposite perspectives. It brings religion and science together by using the truths of the Big Bang Theory, evolution, astronomy, mathematics, statistical probabilities, and the solar system. It reconciles the calendar of the creation recorded in the Book of Genesis with the calendar of the Big Bang Theory—as the two calendars perfectly and mathematically correlate.

This short work contains my journey out of the faith, and my current thoughts on religion and the LDS church in general. I don’t claim to be a great philosopher, or that I am breaking any new ground in these pages. Rather, I want others who have left the Mormon Church, or religion in general to know they are not alone. To see they are not the only ones who have dared leave a faith, even when everyone around them is still practicing. So dive in with me, and dare to leave your faith behind.

My thesis is simple: “If The Church Is True, Then Why Doesn't Sunday School End On Time?” Let me unpack that quote. First, this is not an anti-Mormon book, but “inside baseball” for faithful members. And who is my audience? Normal members: people like you. A note on spelling. I used the King James Version of the Bible, and I retain the archaic spelling.

Daughter Zion avoids the extremes of ignoring the biblical foundation for Marian doctrine on the one hand and fundamentalistic proof-texting on the other. Instead, the author beautifully and lucidly develops key biblical themes to help listeners understand and appreciate the mother of God.

In May of 2013, Max and Joyce Eliason entrusted their estate valued in excess of $250 million to the LDS law firm of Kirton McConkie located in Salt Lake City, Utah. They did so with the belief that their estate rich in oil properties was just as safe as the millions of dollars they had paid in tithes and offerings over the 59 years they were married. What has followed is the most criminal and heinous display of corruption which has led to Kirton McConkie and the leaders of the LDS Church unable to account for $1.00.
