Review of David B. Ostler,\u00a0Bridges: Ministering to Those Who Question<\/em>(Salt Lake City: Greg Kofford Books, 2019), 206 pp. $32.95 (hardback), $20.95 (paperback).<\/span><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong>\u00a0David Ostler\u2019s book\u00a0<\/em>Bridges: Ministering to Those Who Question\u00a0addresses the daunting task of ministering to people who have grown disillusioned with the core doctrines and the community of believers they encounter in The Church of Jesus\u00a0Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is perhaps the most challenging ministering effort a\u00a0leader or member of the Church can undertake, and\u00a0<\/em>Bridges\u00a0provides valuable insight into the process of disaffection as well as specific things that Church leaders and members can do to create a\u00a0healthy environment for members to work through challenges to their faith. This review discusses those strengths of\u00a0<\/em>Bridges\u00a0as a\u00a0resource and also explores areas where the well-intentioned approaches discussed in the book can backfire, causing more harm than healing in a\u00a0community of believing Latter-day Saints.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The hosts for the 20 October 2019 edition of the Interpreter Radio Show were Bruce Webster, Kris Fredrickson, and Mike Parker, and their discussion during the first hour of the show centered on addresses at the recent General Conference as well as a sobering conversation on human trafficking. \u00a0In the second hour of the show, they discussed the upcoming\u00a0Come, Follow Me<\/em>\u00a0lesson #44 on Hebrews 7-13.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The entire 20 October installment of the Interpreter Radio Show is now available at no charge and at your convenience, stripped of commercial interruptions, on the website of the Interpreter Foundation:<\/p>\n

If, on the other hand,\u00a0you\u2019re only interested in an Interpreter Radio Roundtable for\u00a0Come, Follow Me<\/em>\u00a0New Testament Lesson 44,\u00a0\u201cAn High Priest of Good Things to Come,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0covering Hebrews 7-13, that roundtable has been\u00a0extracted from the 20 October 2019 broadcast of Interpreter Radio.. The panelists for the roundtable were, of course, Bruce Webster, Kris Fredrickson, and Mike Parker. And, as is the standard practice wherever possible for the Interpreter Foundation, this roundtable is made available to the widest reachable audience at no charge:<\/p>\n
