The Testimony of Two Nations by Michael  Austin

Brent’s first review of the year

it was amazing
Michael Austin is one of the clearest LDS writers using critical/interpretive methods for a broad audience. He helped me see the BoM and Bible as similar but VERY DIFFERENT in their use of types and themes. This helps me appreciate both works for their complexity and depth.

To Be a Friend of Christ by Richard D. Hanks

Brent’s last review of the year

it was amazing
Marion Duff Hanks was a hero to my generation. Never called to the Twelve because of his outspoken progressive views but beloved of for his Christ- and love-centered preaching and unending service So many of his causes are now commonplace in the Church; he was just ahead of his time. Every day reading this was a pleasure and uplift - I highly recommend this for devotional and historical reasons.
