New Products: New Books By Richard Paul Evans, Elder Holland
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Prolific Mormon author Richard Paul Evans has a new
book, aimed at children and published by his LDS distribution company, Evans
Book, which tries to teach children about the sacred nature of their bodies.
That book makes an interesting parallel to Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's new
book, based on a talk he gave at BYU on intimacy. In addition, history fans
have a new paperback edition of Conway Sonne's classic "Saints on the Seas,"
while a University of Illinois Press book by BYU Professor Eric Eliason has
edited a compilation of classic scholarly essays on Mormonism.
