NOM

After years of slow work, I am proud to announce the publication of my new book, "Obscure Mormon Doctrine," on Amazon. Check it out! I'd love to hear any constructive feedback. Chris Jensen

I forgot the link: www.amazon.com/Obscure-Mormon-Doctrine- ... 1737475006

Rather than post and run (for promotional purposes?) maybe you can answer a few questions I have.

What made you decide to write this book?

How has writing this book impacted your faith in Mormonism?

What’s next in your writing career?

this sounds interesting and fun. I'll definitely check it out.

Uh, yeah, I bought this on my kindle. It relies heavily on a literal understanding of scripture, Joseph Smith, Joseph Fielding Smith, Brigham Young, Bruce R. McConkie, and various other prophets, in that approximate order. It does include things that will likely never be discussed in General Conference, for example: Blood atonement as understood by Brigham Young and Joseph Fielding Smith, and getting our own planets. It does have a good quote of Joseph Fielding Smith endorsing Utah's old firing squad execution law.
It has cute little asides such as: "It's unclear how the remnants of the alter (at Adam-ondi-ahman) survived Noah's flood."
I'm don't believe Deseret Book will carry it, but I could be wrong.
Henri 777 isn't a NOM, at least he doesn't come out in his book.

Thanks everyone for your comments and support. I'm out of the church. Here's a recent interview where I explain the book and my position. Hope it helps and that you find it interesting:

Chris, I saw your last post and checked out the video. You "got me" with way you presented the book. I know I am biased, but I strive to be unbiased. I think you have been helpful. Thanks for your book and your posts. Deacon.

I just bought it, look forward to it. My wife will see the amazon order and roll her eyes at my millionth mormon book.

I have wondered about the planets listed in the Mormon canon, as well as the planets given to the most highly exalted Mormons to govern. Will they all have their own unique history, or will they at some point have a Jesus and Joseph Smith? If so, will these roles be filled by those planets Jesus and Joseph, or does our own Jesus and Joseph do an infinite duty on those other planets?

Was Joseph Smith once the Holy Ghost in these Obscure Mormon Doctrines?
