Clear and very concise on how to talk to LDS (Latter Day Saints) It's definitely a good starter book in understanding the differences between Christians and LDS.

This book is a must read for any Christian, especially Christians engaging with members of the LDS church.

Kunkle’s booklet has as its primary focus the consequences of eternity. Kunkles booklet clearly avoids any such methods intended to bash-the-Mormons. As a Christian involved in apologetics and witnessing to Mormons, I very much appreciate Kunkle’s direction.
Stand To Reason’s thoughtful methods such as “Columbo Tactics,” i.e. ask questions such as “What do you mean by that?” lead to dignified conversations where respect for the individual comes well before merely winning an argument. Sadly, too many on both sides of religious debate are guilty of desiring to win the argument. We’re all guilty of that at times. Kunkle’s booklet is a good reminder to avoid such ill-fated strategy.
Kunkle wisely suggests not leading with controversial topics such as polygamy because controversial topics have a tendency to put the other person on the defensive. Instead, Kunkle suggests focusing on the two most important topics in the world; Who is God? What is the gospel?
The controversial topics aren’t unimportant. They can be dealt with later after a Mormon is convinced that you have his best interest in mind. Who wants to be involved in a war of wits with and an eventual victor and the other a casualty of war?
This booklet is very highly recommended as a tool in your kit for witnessing to Mormons because, while many Mormons are very sincere in their beliefs, it’s important to remember that that sincerity of belief can never create truth. Kunkle suggests asking leading questions, i.e. “Would you want to know if you’re worshiping the wrong God?” If they answer in the affirmative then you can look forward to a productive discussion in the pursuit of truth.
Kunkle suggests putting a stone in their shoe. Give them something to think about that cannot be ignored as they walk on. Give them something that is an annoyance that can only be resolved by removing the shoe to address the annoyance.
That is clear thinking Christianity.

This is a very basic breakdown to the Mormon worldview and how it drastically contrasts from Christianity. It is a elementary apologetic for Christians who strive to gather a fundamental understanding of Mormonism.

Good concise breakdown of the huge differences between Mormonism and Christianity in a respectful but honest way.
