Sorry - not very good at hands yet...
Where to Draw the Line?
The next talk, “Satan – the Great Deceiver” by Marion G. Romney, brought up a question in my mind – should I include cultural works from those in my faith to include in this examination of literature associated with General Conference talks?
My decision was not to do this – not that there’s not value in works by members of my faith. There most certainly is, but mostly I wanted to hold onto the scriptures in one hand and go walking around in the world with the other, to see what references in the world I might discover that are gospel-compatible, and make a reading list of these.
The internal works will certainly go on my reading list for my own reference.
