Celestine Publi****ng announced the availability of its book, On Common
Ground: Bridging the Mormon Evangelical Divide as an electronic
download for easier access both locally and internationally.
Raleigh, NC, April 07, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Due to positive reviews and
the increasing number of international requests, Celestine Publi****ng
(www.celestinepubli****ng.com) has released On Common Ground: Bridging
the Mormon Evangelical Divide as an electronic download in addition to
its softbound version.
The following book reviews from people of different faiths were
submitted to Celestine Publi****ng or published on the internet
regarding the author's approach to identify the common ground that
exists between members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and the rest of the Christian community.
"[The author's] approach will not only help to clear up misconceptions
but will encourage a deeper exploration into these Biblical
principles. It is the author's hope that this will in turn foster a
greater understanding of the commonality among those pursing an active
meaningful Christian experience. "On Common Ground" has given me
insight into a new approach to examining Biblical principles in my own
personal Bible Study." Richard R. Blake, Christian Education
Consultant, Midwest Book
Review, www.ezinearticles.com.
"The book itself is beautiful. The cover, with its ancient parchment
colors, is vivid and eye-catching. But what truly matters is that
which is inside. As the author states early on in the book, On Common
Ground can be used as a concordance (or topical guide) to understand
Biblical topics. But even beyond this, thumb through the book and you
will quickly capture just what the author pur****ts... there is much of
similarity between Evangelical Christian faith and the faith of
Mormons." C.S. Bezas, Bella Online's LDS Editor,
www.bellaonline.com/articles/art55790.asp.
"Rather than trying to say one side is right and the other wrong, the
author decides to show similarities between both and allow the reader
to decide which parts to agree with... How is this supposed to work, you
ask? The starting point is relatively simple. Core beliefs,
principles, as well as values, are shared when one begins a
comparison. Conceptually speaking, it works best to begin where both
views come together rather than focus on any differences." Nancy Gail,
www.blogcritics.org.
"I just wanted you to know that I truly enjoyed reading this book. The
author, Vincent DiGirolamo is truly insightful. His stories really hit
home for me. It was very moving for me when he said, "One day we will
all see eye to eye, and it will not matter who's right or wrong, but
that right is right." I never considered how much different religions
had in common. I always heard how one was better than the other. Mr.
DiGirolamo helped me realize that it's ok to be curious, even question
another religion, but when you decide to search for similar elements,
you will see that you will have a lot more in common than you thought.
I am glad he took the approach of helping us look for the Common
Ground." Diana McCullers, NC.
"It has been my experience that the world is often too quick to judge,
too quick to misinterpret or distort the uncommon beliefs that exist
between men of different faiths. This book is my humble attempt to
swim against that tide and help bridge the divide by presenting for
your consideration, true principles I believe we share in Christ,"
commented DiGirolamo. "But I believe that this approach also sets the
pattern necessary to find and better understand the common ground that
exists between men and women of all religious persuasions."
