What People Are Saying about Fatal Flaws :
I loved your book. It is well-written and respectfully presents the major issues dividing the LDS faith from standard Christianity. I also enjoyed how you shared your personal experience of dealing with these issues as you reevaluated your faith and eventual commitment to biblical Christianity.
—Sandra Tanner, President of Utah Lighthouse Ministry (www.utlm.org)

As a former Latter-day Saint now in Christian ministry, Fatal Flaws was difficult for me to read because it caused me to revisit the insurmountable problems with the LDS organization whose people I once lived among and still dearly love. As kind-hearted Bishop Earl contends in his book, there are many historical and doctrinal flaws in the LDS faith worth investigating. He makes a persuasive argument that God need not be jettisoned after their discovery. My own life changed dramatically simply because I set aside LDS teachings and got into the Bible where I found a God so compelling, my life changed forever. Fatal Flaws is superbly written--with great clarity and sincerity--it is practically organized, exceptionally well-researched with authoritative sources, and humbly and compassionately presented. The facts are indisputable and require thoughtful consideration by the reader, as does the God of the Bible.
—Lynn Wilder, author Unveiling Grace: The Story of How we Found Our Way Out of the Mormon Church; Co-founder of Ex-Mormon Christians United for Jesus (www.unveilingmormonism).

My friend Earl Erskine is a gentle, brave Christian who loves Christ and loves people—especially those immersed in the LDS movement. In Fatal Flaws he shares not only his life story but also a lifetime of spiritual wisdom that will help Latter Day Saints discover what’s inconsistent and flawed in the belief system they’ve been handed. There’s no better way to learn about the problems in LDS beliefs than from an insider who shares with careful thought, sound scholarship and abiding love. Compassionate, clear and compelling – Fatal Flaws is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the fractures in the foundation of LDS ideology.
—Alan Wright, Pastor, National Radio Teacher, Six-time author, including Shame Off You and The Power to Bless

Earl Erskine knows first-hand what it means to discover the 'flaws' of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this work, he lays out some of the problems that caused him and his wife to leave the only religion they had known and discover a personal relationship with Jesus. He lays out a case that, to the objective observer, should be simply overwhelming. May other Latter-day Saints have ears in the same way so they too can be changed by the truth.
—Eric Johnson, author, Introducing Christianity to Mormons

Earl and Karla's story is very dear to me. It clearly tells of a gentle God who patiently guides us into truth and who gives us the faith to embrace it. Jesus was keen to shake unsure foundations for the good of those who met him. My heart will always praise God for bringing the unshakable Rock, Jesus, into the lives of these two.
—Jim Catlin, pastor, Main Street Church of Brigham City
