Great to see you. We appreciate your evenhandedness. If I could be a mature adult, I'd be just like you.

I finally ordered the book via Amazon today. I'm looking forward to my future enlightenment.

I didn't finish it. Because I didn't want Joseph to die.

For those trying to live frugally, I recently saw that Deseret Book now carries a paperback version.

Too bad this little tradition died so quickly.

I was looking forward to seeing what other books CG'ers could find to confirm their own opinions.

Did you read Bushman's book and find it lacking in some way?

Did you read any of these books? I would be genuinely curious to hear your opinion.

Nonsense. It was a poor review. I have a strong suspicion that he only skimmed it.

There are any number of books I'd love for us to discuss. I've been re-reading B.H. Roberts' Studies in the Book of Mormon....
