Take Heed that Ye Be Not Deceived

Richard I. Winwood, Salt Lake City, Utah: Winwood, 1995, 6x8" softbound, 106 pages.

This book is a revealing look at anti-Mormon literature, its authors and their motives. Richard I. Winwood is a native of Portland, Oregon, where he was a member of a large Protestant church from his youth. In 1971, missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints contacted and taught him and his wife, Judy. They joined the church, and since his conversion Mr. Winwood has served in many church positions, mostly as a lay leader and teacher. He has also served as a mission president for the Church of Jesus Christ in the Canada Halifax Mission in Nova Scotia and the Temple Square Mission in Salt Lake City. Prior to his service as a mission president, Winwood had a successful business career.

Mr. Winwood is a student of the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and other latter-day scriptures, as well as early Christian history. He has also made an extensive study of material written and taught by opponents of the church. His understanding of anti-Mormon tactics and claims, coupled with an in-depth understanding of church doctrine and teaching, has led him to write this book in an effort to help others in their search for truth.
