The Apostasy & Restoration: What Does the Bible Say? - PDF Pamphlet

What this pamphlet is and is not:
1. This pamphlet is a helpful response to the teaching pamphlet: “The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ”.
2. It is a general guideline to structure the conversation, but not to dictate every point of discussion. Let the conversation flow naturally, and discuss the content of the pamphlet as the circumstances allow for it. Don’t feel pressured to discuss every page of a respective pamphlet in a given conversation.
3. It is for guiding in-person conversations between TCs and LDS, as well as for personal study and reflection.
4. It is NOT meant to be used as tools to win arguments or humiliate LDS members, but rather to serve as tools for sparking meaningful and friendly dialogue about the Gospel.

"Connor and Brennon’s LDS pamphlets and the information contained within has been paramount when witnessing to some LDS members in our community." - David

"Your LDS packet really helped inform me of what the church organization believes. ... I’m still in relationship with the same missionaries after meeting with them about 5 time already. I would not have been as well equipped or prepared had it not been for your pamphlet. Remember to love them and be kind! Thanks!" - Anonymous
