A BOOK OF BOOKS. First of all, I couldn’t put this book down. The content is interesting, enlightening, and charitable. Although the book is a personal account, spiritual in nature — into Mormonism; serving in different capacities in the church and university, they as a family were all in; then exiting out of Mormonism — her experiences are well expressed. Unveiling Grace communicates some of the angst that goes with a major disruption like this. Those of us who never have been part of the Mormon belief system are just, plain curious. We’ve heard things, and wondered things, and have concluded things about Mormons. As a person of faith along the lines of Lynn Wilder’s now beliefs in saving faith through Jesus Christ, I read with vivid interest how her son’s life changed first, and later the rest of the family. God works in mysterious ways. He draws people. When they see it, experience it, and then live it, life in Christ amazes. That’s what you read here. I appreciate that this isn’t an angry account or bitter about the past. All I can say is she’s a brave woman to put it out there. It couldn’t have been easy. To Lynn Wilder: Thank you for sharing your and your family’s story.

ALWAYS BE READY DELIGHTS. I heard Hugh Ross being interviewed on Christian radio. I thought it interesting so I decided to order his book. That’s the first I heard of Hugh Ross and the RTB (Reasons To Believe) ministry. Wow. He shared his unusual journey to faith. He came to faith through reading a bible. The bible was from the Gideon organization. He didn’t read it for several years. At age eighteen, as an avid scientist with atheistic parents, he was on a personal search to find what could explain the complexity of the natural world. He saw holes and incomplete explanations in the research, yet he was certain there had to be a credible reason for its complexity. When he read Genesis 1, he found what he was looking for. To him it read like a scientific process. In a short matter of time he professed Christ as his Savior and wrote his name with the date on the bible’s decision page. However, he didn’t know any Christians until six years later. Hugh Ross’s mission is to help Christians prepare to share their faith with a world that is hostile but curious. He wants secular people to know that science and Christianity are not on opposite sides, they actually compliment each other. He is a pastor, debater, sharer of his faith, writer, and scientist. He is also autistic. I find this thread quite interesting. His autism has not kept him from sharing his brilliance. If anything, it has enhanced it. A good read.
