  In Korihor's Defense
Such is the case of Gerald Lund's "Countering Korihor's Philosophies." (Ensign, July 1992) Lund, a noted LDS author and speaker, appears deeply concerned with the ubiquitous nature of atheistic and secular philosophies.
Lund correctly notes that, if Korihor's statement is taken as a premise, then it logically follows that "you cannot 'see,' or experience the future with the physical senses [and] consequently, all talk of a future Savior.
Lund's comparison is much like saying that one person's faith that the sun will rise tomorrow is basically the same as my unshakable faith that the six-legged goats are waiting for me to come to Venus so that they may crown me their King.

 State v. Patzer, 382 N.W.2d 631 (N.D. 1986)
Richard Reimche and Kathy Reimche and Gerald Lund and Sheryl Lund were convicted in a consolidated bench trial in Bottineau County.
Gerald Lund and Sheryl Lund are members of the Bottineau Seventh Day Adventist Church and are the parents of Naleah, age eight at the time of trial.
The County Court of Bottineau County, however, appears to have held that the actions of the Reimches and Lunds were motivated by "an idealogical or philosophical belief" rather than a sincerely held religious belief and that the compulsory attendance statutes did not create a burden upon their religious beliefs.

 AML-List Review: The Freedom Factor
Lund's writing style is easy to read and rarely interferes with a solidly paced story of political intrigue.
Lund raises a fascinating core question and conflict -- can a two hundred year old document really address the needs of a modern, global nation dominated by technology unimagined by the founding fathers?
I suspect Lund just wanted to avoid talking heads and let his dramatization carry the argument -- a noble goal and one that I would ordinarily applaud.

 Work and the Glory Analysis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
And central to the novel was Gerald Lund's voice or style, essentially setting himself up as the narrator and directing the reader to see the story through his insightful eyes.
In Gerald Lund’s novel that sort of writing cost less than pennies in paper and ink, but with the cost of this movie approaching $73,000 per minute, the stage—not the screen—is where the opening of the Work and the Glory movie belongs.
Gerald Lund started the written work with an extended introduction of the characters, detailing the Steed family’s move, why they came to New York and in his very delightful way introduces them to Western New York.

Lund, who visited the Tennessee set prior to the start of filming, guessed that he had been pitched on "Work and the Glory" movie projects " eight to 10 different times" prior to his meeting with Holt and Swofford.

Lund's desire of getting things right is shared by Holt, who said he is very aware of the enormous popularity of the "Work and the Glory" books and committed to creating a movie that will meet devoted readers' expectations.

Lund's nine-volume series the Work and the Glory, which chronicled the beginnings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 19th-century America, has sold three million copies, mostly in the Mormon market.
Lund's work has helped me attain a level of clarity regarding the Savior's ministry that I didn't even know I was missing.
Lund also did a great job in helping me understand which characters in the book are really from the New Testament, and where he was favoring certain scriptural interpretations over others.

 Book Review: COME UNTO ME- Volume two in THE KINGDOM AND THE CROWN Series by Gerald Lund
Because Lund takes the time to carefully explain both Jewish and Roman customs of the period, slows down the story to allow his characters to discuss Jesus' teachings at length, and interrupts the story with long, detailed footnotes at the end of each chapter, some will find reading this work tedious.
Though the fictional tale Lund has invented is captivating and well worth the time required to read or listen to the story, the insights gained from the parallel story of the Savior's ministry are beyond value.
Perhaps most significant, is the subtle way Lund leads the reader to join his characters as they ponder the words of the Savior and reach an understanding of his or her own.

 AML-List Review: The Alliance
Though it was published almost fifteen years ago, the idea of a Gerald Lund science fiction novel was just too interesting not to pursue, so I borrowed a copy from list member Scott Bronson and read it.
The story follows a small group of people in Wyoming who have survived the end of civilization eighteen years earlier to create a quiet, self-sufficient community living a pioneer lifestyle.
Though none of the characters are described as Mormon, the plot is straight out of the Mormon concept of the pre-existence and Satan's plan.
