Great talk. Two of my younger siblings were there. He gave the same talk at Berkeley as well.

And his new book is the greatest book Deseret has ever published.

Quote:

In recent years, Fiona and Terryl Givens have been surrounded by smart, educated young Mormons who are abandoning their faith at an alarming rate, claiming it is intellectually unsatisfying.

The LDS husband and wife from Richmond, Va., were overcome with frustration and sorrow watching the exodus.

The Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints cannot afford to lose these bright minds, the literary couple reasoned, and so felt an urgency to remind their disaffected friends of, as they put it, "Mormonism’s theological gems."

The result is their just-published collaboration called The God Who Weeps: How Mormonism Makes Sense of Life.

Here's a podcast where Terryl Givens and his wife Fiona (who is a bit of a firecracker and a convert) talk about how they came up with the book "The God who weeps", how it ended up with Deseret Book, what the reaction has been, and what they learned in the process.

And here's a link to my notes from a prior Givens' fireside.

I got browbeat into reading the Crucible of Doubt (which apparently grew out of the materials discussed in this thread), and then couldn't help myself:

Check it out! Let me know if you want a free copy; or, it's only 99 cents.

He will send you a free copy via Amazon, otherwise you can just get a free copy by incantations over an Ouija board.
