One month ago we announced the release of Adam Miller's Letters to a Young Mormon. A lot of readers have told us they can't wait to recommend the book to family, friends, and fellow church members. It's so good, you'll need an extra copy to give away or lend out. We want to make that easier by giving away six autographed copies of Letters in a new Facebook contest. Here's how to enter: Take a small photograph of a favorite quote or excerpt from Letters (not to exceed 100 words), like this:

Adam S. Miller spends his days teaching philosophy to students at Collin College in McKinney, Texas, but the most important lessons he's ever prepared have been for his own children. He distilled many of those lessons into his new book, Letters to a Young Mormon. Miller's letters are meant for a young Mormon who is familiar with Mormon life but green in their faith. In simple but profound prose, Miller addresses the real beauty and real costs of trying to live a Mormon life in today's world. He encourages Mormons young and old to live in a way that refuses to abandon either life or Mormonism. Most importantly, even while dispensing wisdom, Miller wonders alongside the reader. Letters to a Young Mormon is unlike anything ever written for a young Latter-day Saint audience.
