New Products: Missionary Stories, Tools, and Personal Testimonies
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Among the new titles released by the major LDS
publishers this season are a number that look at missionary work,
provide tools for missionaries and inspiring materials for
missionaries. Most interesting is a book from Cedar Fort by Frank
Leach that shows how consistent efforts of many missionaries over
years made a difference for his family and for a Wyoming town. Other
books provide tools for missionaries, inspiring essays on belief, and
the soundtrack for the new movie about Elder Groberg's missionary
experiences.
What may be the most popular of the books featured this week is "Why
I Believe," Deseret Book's collection of essays on belief by
prominent LDS Church members. Unlike previous collections, this one
features many contributors who are not Utahns, and who have built
reputations outside of Utah.
Also likely to be popular is the soundtrack for "The Other Side of
Heaven," the movie opening this weekend in select Utah theaters,
about the missionary experiences of Elder John H. Groberg. The
highly-touted film is the biggest LDS film since "God's Army" and the
first recent film aimed at an LDS audience that is not by Richard Dutcher.
