3DOP Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I am surprised no one has mentioned the Book of Mormon. Maybe it would be a favorite book translated by a Latter-day-Saint? Edited July 25, 2014 by 3DOP 1

Stargazer Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I'm currently reading 'Odds Are You're Going To Be Exalted' and it's my favorite book by far. I also like The Miracle of Forgiveness by Spencer W Kimball. I have that "Odds are" book, and it's nice and all, but I don't know how seriously to take the author. Is this sound doctrine or personal opinion? Skousen's not the author, so the "BS" joke won't work, but...

Grundelwalken Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Besides many that have been mentioned, anything by Robert Millet. His style rings to my senses and his doctrine is impeccable. MW 1
