long ago ideas

“When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago." - Friedrich Nietzsche. Long ago, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery conquered false claims that the Book of Mormon was fiction or that it came through a stone in a hat. But these old claims have resurfaced in recent years. To conquer them again, we have to return to what Joseph and Oliver taught.

Moroni's America 2nd Edition - podcast


Last weekend we released the Second Edition of Moroni's America. This edition has lots of new material, including new insights and information accumulated over the eight years since the first edition was published.

The book contains QR codes for bonus material, including interviews, as well as links to online references and material that we couldn't fit into the book.

One of the key points is the discussion of how the Book of Mormon is "a type and a shadow" for every nation in the world. While America was Lehi's promised land, in our day every nation is the gathering place and the promised land for the people who live there. 

Thus, the promises and covenants set forth in the Book of Mormon apply to every nation and people. This is why the Book of Mormon is relevant to people everywhere as they "liken the scriptures" to themselves.
