Bahahahaha! You are a master of your craft, Reverend. (Wait, "reverend"..."craft"--that wouldn't make it priest craft, would it? Whatever it is, you do it so well!) Your writings always seem to me to have a familiar spirit, almost as if we'd been friends in some previous life, a ...

Just in time for Christmas, Greg Kofford Books has just released Don Bradley’s long awaited and greatly anticipated book about the lost first (but incomplete) version of the Book of Mormon. I am thrilled to see this happen, as it is a project Don has poured himself into for a very long time. The va...

I...

8 or 9? 8.9? Bah! You've found a place on the printing plate where a chiseled-away snout is visibly present. And it has visible fangs. And the appropriate ear has always been present.

LOL! I have lessons to learn from you, Reverend.
