Mormonism is one of the world's most misunderstood religions.

Yet, Christians are confused by Mormons’ use of extra-biblical scriptures such as The Book of Mormon, unorthodox doctrines, and aggressive missionary efforts to convert them. So they ask, "What is the truth about Mormons?" "The Mormon Puzzle" is designed to help those that have family and friends who are Mormon, explain what they believe, their history, and how Christians can effectively witness to them of a saving faith in Jesus Christ. |
