A great talk on understanding complicated issues

 

A book by Kerry Muhlestein called Let's Talk About the Book of Abraham.

 

I also did a few classes for a group called Gospel Scholars where I go more into depth on many issues than I can do in many formats. It costs a little, but you can use the code "Kerry25" you can get a 25% discount.

The Book of Abraham courses can be found here.

The home page for all their courses are here.
