From Critic to Convert: A Critic Challenges His Way to Mormonism

From Critic to Convert is a clear, convincing exposition of LDS faith and doctrine. It shows the “big picture” of Mormonism without being simplistic and offers powerful insights that you don’t need a degree in theology to understand. This is a convincing treatment of tough doctrinal issues, combining the clarity of an experienced teacher with the unique perspective of a man who has gone from skeptic to bishop, critic to theologian. Was there an apostasy? What is God’s plan for His children? How can we know Joseph Smith was a prophet? What evidence exists concerning the Book of Mormon? How can we know it is true? Brother Morgan provides detailed, readable commentary on these and many other questions. This book vividly demonstrates the strength of the LDS position through  series of simple, solid, “missionary lessons.” The author addresses issues with a unique blend of evidence, testimony, and common sense. From Critic to Convert will strengthen any member’s testimony and understanding of LDS doctrine, and help others recognize Christ’s hand in restoring His Church.

Bill Morgan was yearning for a God he wasn’t sure existed. Although he initially liked what he heard from two young LDS missionaries, respected religion professors gave him another view of “Mormonism.” He believed the professors and enrolled in a Protestant college, but he kept in touch with LDS missionaries and members. Only after a long struggle—and after many stumbling blocks were removed—did he choose to rely on God and strong scriptural evidence for answers.
