Belief After CES Letter - Books of Mormon & Abraham, Kinderhook Plates - Mormon Stories Ep. 1378

Jim Bennett is the author of “A Faithful Reply to the CES Letter.” He is also the son of the late Utah U.S. Senator Bob Bennett. In Part 2 of a multi-part series with Jim, we discuss in-depth his approach to maintaining belief in the Mormon church AFTER exposure to all of the historical and social problems currently vexing the LDS church, as highlighted in Jeremy Runnell’s groundbreaking book “CES Letter: My Search for Answers to my Mormon Doubts.” Today’s episode covers: The Book of Mormon The Witnesses to the Book of Mormon The Book of Abraham The Kinderhook Plates The First Vision And much, much more! Also, please do not miss my dear friend Bill Reel’s super in-depth interview with Jim if you happened to miss it. --------------- ***We are 100% donor funded!
