Enduring to the End

I. Barry Thompson, Springville, Utah: Cedar Fort, 2001, 6x9" softbound, 166 pages.

The book masterfully analyzes through actual incidents the twelve main reasons many early LDS leaders left the faith. The author points out that apostasy can start in many small ways, even for subtle reasons, such as prosperity and riches. The book is an effective guide at helping the reader recognize his or her own flaws, and how to avoid personal apostasy. All too often we see supposedly stalwart friends and loved ones lose their way and slip into church inactivity or even apostasy. What causes this, and could it happen to us?

This book carefully identifies 12 major causes of apostasy from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and then examines how each symptom is treated in the scriptures and from the mouths of modern-day prophets. The author points out that apostasy can start in many ways. These causes range from the obvious such as "Unrepented Sin" to more subtle reasons such as "Prosperity and Riches" and "Intellectual Superiority." The author then uses the words of the prophets to help the reader avoid succumbing to Satan's tactics in our day. Barry Thompson was concerned as he watched friends and family fall into periods of religious inactivity. He examined the lives of many of the early Saints who apostatized and the causes of apostasy as discussed by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He hopes this book will help readers in their quest to endure to the end.
