In the visits of my relative to America or Canada it was usually then on west to Hong Kong. Here as we all knew those who wanted a silk suit or expensive attire or diamonds, earrings, necklaces of exquisite design could be had at such a bargain as could never be purchased anywhere else in the world.


We all of a certain age had known this, from our richer friends who were off and over, showing off their wardrobe, a new suit or pair of shoes at a time. And we all would marvel. How could

Mormon books come in two main categories: those that favor the LDS Church and those that oppose the Church, although there are varying degrees within both categories.

If you are making an honest inquiry into the Mormon Church or just want to know what they really teach first decide whether the source is reliable. Check to see who wrote the LDS book, why they wrote it, and who published it.
