Come and See - Josh Taylor - Bog

A close friend of ours recently confided, "I can't reconcile what I've experienced in the Church, its doctrinal views, history, and current policies, with what I feel is right. And so, I just don't believe it can be true". Like our friend, many of the rising generation perceive faith in the restored gospel as perplexing, illogical, and in certain contexts, hurtful. While we do not fault those who sincerely see it this way, we have discovered that this kind of response often originates from what may initially appear to be inconsequential misunderstandings in foundational gospel paradigms. Consequently, when difficult questions arise, the decision to leave the Church is perfectly reasonable and can even feel like the correct path forward. Come and See does not attempt to provide simple answers to the complex questions we face today. Instead, it examines common starting points of misconception and offers secular and spiritual frameworks to better traverse topics with both reason and faith. It invites readers to reconsider the way they see and convey gospel perspectives so that what was once unreasonable becomes intuitive.
