*To teach faithful Members how to answer anti-Mormon questions so they can help people who have such questions overcome them and come to faith in the Restored Gospel.
*To help those Members whose faith is wavering because of anti-Mormon claims.
*To help Perplexed Investigators ("PIs"). A "PI" is a sincere investigator or new convert who is "perplexed" (confused/upset) because they have heard of read or seen anti-Mormon propaganda. Until their questions are answered, they will not join the Church, or remain inactive.
If you are a faithful Member who wants to "help" the missionaries who have PIs, or if you are a Member who has anti-Mormon questions needing to be answered, or if you are a Perplexed Investigator, we can help you.
The following is a list of current ProMormon Books that we recommend you buy and read.
