The Rational Restoration

This book has arrived!

In 1859, Charles Dickens wrote, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."—Tale of Two Cities

Many people, Latter-day Saints, and others relate to Dickens' description. They are confused by conflicting interpretations of Church history, practices, and teachings.

On one side, critics complain and find fault. On the other side, apologists and scholars offer unsatisfactory, confusing explanations. The Rational Restoration re-examines past, present, and future from a faithful perspective to present a rational interpretation that corroborates the teachings of the prophets and offers enthusiastic optimism for the future of the Church, the Latter-day Saints, and the entire world.
