Hi, (Name)…
You and I have a lot in common. We both believe in large
families. We both love the Lord and enjoy having Him in our lives. We both seek
good, kind and caring people as friends.
You are that to me. You’ve always been a kind and caring
friend, for which I appreciate very much.
I hope you will receive the enclosed copy of the Book of
Mormon as a gift from a kind and caring friend.
When you mentioned to me last week that you once received a
copy of the Book of Mormon from a friend in college, it occurred to me—we’re no
spring chickens any more J—that
it’s been a l-o-o-o-ng time since you’ve even thumbed through a copy.
Scott, I share this with all good intentions—not to try and convert you, but simply as
a way of sharing the goodness of my faith just as you shared the goodness of
your faith and the faith of the wonderful makers of “I Can Only Imagine.”
Please don’t judge my faith…whatever you think of us…like a
commodity based on a 4- or 5-star rating (or 1- or 2-stars J), i.e. what others
think of us and what others say we believe. Please go to the source before passing judgment. The Book of
Mormon is one of those sources.
We love the Bible as you can see by the many footnotes
(cross-references) in the enclosed book. And we love you and all of God’s
children. We don’t consider ourselves better or more favored of Him. We’re in
this together and, like you, we seek happiness through Jesus Christ.
I hope this is helpful. Thanks for being a great friend.
Crismon
