Has anybody heard where he was on getting this finished?  He's got a publisher in hand, according to my last information, and I checked on that publisher's website, where it says essentially:

Ever heard of "writer's block"?

I got the impression from that LDS Perspectives interview that most of it was essentially done. I'd imagine the difficulty at this stage is making the main body easy to read while still conveying all the information. That's non-trivial even for very good writers.

The anticipated release date is September 22, 2019.

The big challenge at this point is as Clark correctly intuited. Most of the text is written, but my arguments about the narrative of Mosiah I draw on such a complex set of evidences that it is difficult to figure out how to present the evidence in a linear way to the reader. The evidences connect to each other in a complex web, and presenting that 3-dimensional web as linear text, without too much repetition, is going to be quite the feat. I need to have it done in the next six months.

Wish me luck!

Woohoo!!! 🍀🍀

Hey, wait a minute: get it in a day earlier and hit the Moroni visit anniversary, and all that equinox good karma.

Give away your copy of "James the Brother of Christ," then. Perfect example of how not to do it.

Darn.  I was hoping you were planning on finding the lost pages 😉

The 22nd is the anniversary, and that date is intentional. 

The angel came through the night of the 21st and 22nd, and Joseph visited the hill and encountered the plates on the 22nd.

If they're still there to be found, I'd very much like to do that. 😃

In the interim, I'll "settle" for figuring out some of the cool things that were in them!

Jeanne, early on in my FC, I went to my first Sunstone Symposium and Don Bradley and Maxine Hanks presented. It was awesome and very touching. Here's the link.  https://www.sunstonemagazine.com/pillars-of-my-faith-2012/

Here's an old thread about Don's return to the church. http://www.mormondialogue.org/topic/59041-don-bradleys-return-to-the-church/

I often thought of how in the world he was able to come back to the church and have belief again, but he pretty much says why in the presentation.

Anybody know if there's a transcript someplace?  I tried to listen to Brother Bradley's, but it sounds as if he's talking in a tunnel. :rolleyes:

I like a lot of repetition.  In fact I usually need a lot of repetition.  :Lots of it, with people saying the same thing repeatedly while trying to say it in different ways and with different words to try to make sure they are getting their point across.  Do you know what I mean?

I like a lot of repetition.  So please say things a lot, and in different ways.  Please.

Thank you!!!  I get so many people in my head that they are confusing in leaving..returning..apologists and everything!  Old age I think.  Thanks so much.  I love things like this.

Do you need repetition? 😁
