"The Atlantic": One Blasphemer’s New Admiration for Mormons
The following is an article by Kurt Andersen published in The Atlantic. While he does not withhold his criticism of Mormon beliefs (beliefs he explains using terms and examples which are often lacking in their accuracy), it's interesting to note that he does not withhold praise of the way Mormons live those beliefs: "Latter-day Saints were the brave, virtuous avant garde, and as ridiculous as I find their supernatural beliefs, they are in this instance an outpost of true, real-world righteousness in a party in the grip of a terrible Faustian bargain."

Listen to the Original Arrangement of "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" Sung Before Joseph Smith's Martyrdom
By LDS Living
Mormon Guitarist Ben Howington created this video of a beautiful arrangement of "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" played on his guitar. But this version is not the same as what we sing today. Howington plays with the notes of the original arrangement from when John Taylor sang it for Joseph and Hyrum Smith in Carthage Jail prior to their martyrdom.

How the LDS Church's missionary announcement hit home
By Kate Ensign-Lewis
When President Thomas S. Monson stood at the pulpit on Saturday morning and began to talk about missionary service and the age variability in different countries, my husband turned to me and said, mouth slightly agape, "They're going to change the minimum missionary age." Moments later, we saw that he was right when President Monson said young men could serve at 18. My initial thought: What a blessing this would be to so many young men.
The difference between Old and New World archaeology
Before I begin sharing some of the interesting New World evidences that are consistent with an ancient Book of Mormon, there is one more topic to discuss regarding the way some critics approach Book of Mormon archaeology. Some critics like to compare the lack of archaeological support for the Book of Mormon with the supposedly voluminous archaeological support for the Bible. As Dr. William Hamblin has pointed out, however, there is a drastic difference between the Old and New Worlds when it comes to epigraphic (written) data, the continuity of culture and toponyms (place names). While the arid environment of biblical archaeology is conducive to preserving archaeological artifacts, the hot, humid Mesoamerican climate is detrimental to the preservation of most artifacts such as wood, bone, metal and clothing.
