Yes, Latter-day Saints are Christians: Gathering Israel to the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ
Gathering Israel to the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ
By Elder Gary J. Coleman (emeritus member of the Seventy)
What is it that causes the LDS Church to be one of the fastest growing Christian churches in the world in a day when religious institutions and values are deteriorating all about us?
This book is designed to highlight and clarify the teachings of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. It will lead you, the reader, to new discoveries about who you really are, why you are here on earth, and what you can become.
It is the writer’s intent to discuss the relationship of truth to your temporal mortal life as well as your eternal life. This book is designed to introduce nonmembers, new converts and missionaries to the basic principles of the restored gospel. It is written from a convert’s point of view in an easy-to–understand style that simultaneously uplifts and inspires.
“Following his first investigator class in Sunday school, I asked, ‘Well Gary, how do you feel?’ He responded, ‘I feel like I’ve known all these things before.’ To which I replied, ‘You have! There is nothing you will hear [in the restored gospel] that you haven’t known before!’ He was as a hungry and thirsty soul returning home.”
“I wish I’d had this wonderful little reference book when I was serving as a missionary; especially now that it also comes in a Spanish edition. It presents complex gospel doctrines in ways that are easy to understand, especially for first-time listeners!”
—John M. Madsen, First Quorum of Seventy (Emeritus) who, as a young returned missionary introduced the author to the restored gospel.
—Timothy Ballard, historian, author, and founder of Operation Underground Railroad
