Understanding Your Mormon Neighbor
Current national events have thrust the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members into the public spotlight. Many of us have Latter-day Saint neighbors or do business with Mormons. In many ways, they are quintessentially American, yet they also have a distinct culture and identity. Who are these people? What makes them tick? How do they live? And how can we share our faith with them in ways that connect rather than divide?
This book is a sympathetic description of LDS life from the perspective of traditional Christianity. It explores LDS culture to identify how the Mormon identity is shaped, how Latter-day Saints live out their values in the family and the local congregation, and how they typically interact with the non-Mormon world around them. The book applies this understanding to explain how traditional Christians can engage Mormon friends and neighbors in constructive conversations about faith.
Understanding Your Mormon Neighbor will be released by Zondervan some time in 2011. At that time it will be available at our Online Store.
