Practical Apologetics: The Doubting Elder

Time for another installment in this occasional series. As reported in the Deseret News, Elder Christofferson delivered a presentation to new mission presidents at the Provo MTC in June. He first discussed the use of the Book of Mormon as a proselyting tool: "[H]ow will your missionaries get people to read the Book of Mormon, and also to pray with real intent about its truthfulness?" Then he recounted a personal conversation he had with a returned missionary who had completed his mission and served well, but had some concerns.
