Senator Bennett

Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) has written a book defending the Book of Mormon. Mormon Times has the following:

The Republican senator from Utah is the author of "Leap of Faith," which was recently released by Deseret Book. It examines the origins of the Book of Mormon and confronts accusations by detractors that the text was forged while also encouraging members to analyze and better found their own understanding of it.

Bennett didn't like the way the Book of Mormon was represented in media coverage leading up to the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He began penning letters to the editor of newspapers and the project soon "took hold" of him, and he expanded them into a book in the years afterward.

The article goes on to explain more about the senator's background in identifying forgeries. Although I haven't yet read the book it sounds fascinating. It can be purchased at your local LDS bookstore or by clicking here.
