The Mormon’s Mistake (Annotated, Updated): Short, Easy-to-Read Insight into the Unscriptural Beliefs of the Mormon Church

by H.A. Ironside

NOT long since, there came to my door a young man dressed in the conventional, pseudo-clerical style that readily proclaimed, to one at all acquainted with the so-called Latter-day Saints, that he was a Mormon "elder"-though "younger" might be a more correct term, (1 Pet. v.5) as scriptural elders were invariably men of years and experience, who could care for the flock of God (1 Pet. v. 1-3), but were not to lord it over the people of God as over possessions...

About the author

Henry Allen "Harry" Ironside (October 14, 1876-January 15, 1951) was a Canadian-American Bible teacher, preacher, theologian, pastor, and author.

Ironside was one of the most prolific Christian writers of the 20th Century and published more than eighty books and pamphlets, many of which are still in print. As an editorial reviewer wrote of a 2005 republication, "Ironside's commentaries are a standard and have stood the test of time."

[F · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really good quick take on an encounter between a Mormon and Ironside. Individuals Mormons are masters of denial ["we don't believe that"] sometimes dishonestly and sometimes ignorantly [NOT knowing what the LDS church actually teaches]. It is what it is but this material is helpful, well written and interesting.

Short, I like it. Gives a lot of Scripture to back up the gospel. I would have liked more dialogue from the Mormon so I, the reader, can identify more fault of their theology. Great starter book to peak my interest about Christianity vs. Mormonism, but very general.

[Andy Febrico Bintoro · Rating 4 out of 5]

Its a quick read, pointed directly to the flaw of Mormon on their doctrine of gospels and Bible. It would be great if thus book could be expanded on apologetics.

[Lonny Crawford]

Wisely stated false interpretations being done by the Mormon's.

The Biblical Gospel

A short read but filled with powerful ways to witness to Mormons. It also taught me even more about Mormonism.

[Kenneth · Rating 5 out of 5]

A succinct presentation of the Christian gospel specifically targeted against the inaccurate portrayal by the Mormon system of beliefs. That gospel presentation alone is worth reading even without the context of a conversation between Christian and Mormon. The book concludes with a brief listing of key tenants of Mormon doctrine, which give useful context to differentiate between the dissimilar definitions of identical words used in Christianity and Mormonism (e.g, trinity, gospel, prophet).

Brief but sound theology

Ironside contrast the differences between Mormonism and New Testament Christianity. In a brief way, one could come to the conclusion that Christianity offers more eternal assurance than Mormonism.
