Dear Friends,

"CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!"

This ancient and joyful refrain was proclaimed all over the world this past Resurrection Sunday...in a myriad of languages, in countless churches, just as it has been for centuries upon centuries.

And what a marvelous truth it is! This very fact--this historical fact--serves as the only genuine, incorruptible and lasting hope that any of us have. Jesus has risen! He has conquered sin and death! And in doing so, he has become our salvation, giving us the free gift of eternal life, to all who will embrace Him! If ever there was cause for celebration, this most certainly is it! Good news? GREAT News!

But if this is "news to you"...that is...if you have not yet discovered this amazing, life-changing Truth for yourself, then have we got something for you! If you're on this mailing list, then you have probably have at least heard of our new film, Unveiling Grace. It's the story of eight former Latter-day Saints who, like the women who showed up at the tomb that Sunday morning nearly two thousand years ago, have encountered the reality of the risen, living Jesus Christ.

The film was released in early March, and so far nearly 3,000 copies have been sent out. And we have been thrilled by the response that it's gotten--emails, calls, and face-to-face encounters with people from all walks. Questioning Mormons, former Mormons, and Christians who are anxious to share this Good News with the Mormons they know, have expressed their gratitude and encouragement for these testimonies...and we, too, are grateful for them. We even received one anonymous phone call from a woman who watched it, and it prompted her to immediately resign from the LDS Church.

Even though we rejoice that people are seeking freedom from falsehood, it also burdens us...because we know that in many instances, this means a long and difficult journey has begun for them. So if you are, or have been, or are contemplating taking such a journey yourself, please know that our prayers are with you. And we are also anxious to do anything we can to support you in the process. As difficult as it may be, we can confidently assure you that it's worth it!

If you have not yet had a chance to watch Unveiling Grace, you can do so online (check out the links on the right column.) We'll also send a free copy to any Mormon who personally requests one. And to everyone else, we ask just enough to cover our expenses, so the cost is really quite cheap. (For more information, click on the "Order Unveiling Grace" link on the right column.

If you live in Utah, you can also watch Unveiling Grace on KTMW (Channel 20) this Thursday (April 28), at 8:00 PM. That's tomorrow night! This will be a special presentation of the TV program, Polygamy: What Love Is This, which is hosted by Doris Hanson of A Shield and Refuge Ministry. (For more information on the TV program, click on the link in the right-hand column.

And if you have seen Unveiling Grace, please let us know what you think of it! You can even "like" and leave comments about it on our Facebook page (see link below), if you want to encourage others to view it.

May God richly bless you...and may the joy of our Risen Lord and Savior strengthen and encourage you in all things!
