I can't IMAGINE how the church fathers managed to exclude this one from the canon. Probably some complicated theological issue, right? 
No, but seriously, it's a great read anyway. I highly recommend. |
Chastity in marriage? No I'm afraid that's a doctrine taught in relief society among fifty percent of our women. It seems as if the teachings are such that everybody's getting but you and your friends.
What a horrible doctrine. Talk about apostate literature.
