In 1973, Kimball became the twelfth president of his church, a position he held until he passed away in 1985. Kimball - at that time a senior apostle in the LDS Church - published a book that has proven to be a classic, selling more than two million copies. To get to the heart of the matter with Latter-day Saints, I have utilized a book written fifty years ago by a top LDS leader that has revolutionized my evangelism, allowing me to get past the surface similarities to show just how different our two views really are. Mormonism and Christianity differ greatly on the requirements for the forgiveness of sins. After all, having the wrong view of salvation could be the difference between holding a true or a false gospel, as described by Galatians 1:8–9. This is especially true with the issue of salvation. When terms are defined, clarity can be given to both parties. After all, Latter-day Saints use the same terminology as orthodox Christians - including “God,” “Jesus,” and “Scripture.” Adherents of the two religions can end up talking past each other by assuming their theological meanings are the same. Sharing one’s Christian faith with a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, Mormon) can be very difficult.
