Out of Zion: Meeting Jesus in the Shadow of the Mormon Temple
Imagine what might happen if the solid foundation of what you
believe suddenly begins to shake...
That’s exactly what happened to Lisa Brockman, a six-generation
Mormon with lineage tracing back to the early church. In college,
Lisa found herself challenged to defend her faith, and the beliefs
she knew to be true began to unravel. In Out of Zion,
Lisa shares her journey of discovering the biblical Jesus and the
key conversations that led her from the faith of her ancestors to
conversion to Christianity.
If you have reached a place of questioning what you believe, or you
long for confidence to share your faith with others, Lisa provides
the framework you need to…
- understand the nuances of the history and evolution of Mormon culture
- learn to identify the vital differences between the Mormon and biblical plans of salvation
- compassionately engage in conversation with your Mormon friends and neighbors
As you follow the evolution of Lisa’s faith, you will face the same challenge to defend what you believe and, ultimately, learn to share the gospel effectively with others.
“A compelling and engaging insider look at the best of Mormon
culture and religion. Yet Brockman, in telling her story, is also
perceptively candid in showing how Mormonism, even at its best, is
incapable of truly reconciling a person to themselves, their
neighbor, or their God. As she herself experienced, only Jesus can
heal our hurt and dysfunction. He is waiting with loving, open arms
for every humble Latter-day Saint to turn to Him to find
forgiveness and true freedom.”
—Joel B. Groat, executive director, Institute for Religious
Research
“The strength of Lisa’s book is the respectful and insightful
way she treats the Latter-day Saints (LDS) and the clear way in
which she presents their beliefs while promoting the God of the
Bible. She offers an effective approach to discussing biblical
concepts with LDS friends, missionaries, and family. This is a
great contemporary book for Christians wanting to learn LDS
doctrine and culture and how to step into those sometimes awkward
conversations about faith.”
—Dr. Lynn K. Wilder, author of Unveiling Grace and
Leaving Mormonism
