While I was busy attempting to put together a respone to this development, I got a call from Bruce Webb, who owns the King's Way Christian Book Store in Pocatello, Idaho. He told me he had just been on the phone with the CEO of Baker Book House, Dwight Baker. Bruce said he had received a new book from Baker (the publisher which once published two of my books: Beyond Mormonism and Have You Witnessed to a Mormon Lately?). The book, Expressions of Faith, is by Mormon artist Greg Olsen.

Olsen is very popular not only in Mormon circles, but in Evangelical Christian circles as well. His painting, "O Jerusalem" (which pictures Jesus overlooking that city) adorns the homes of many Christians either as a free standing painting or as part of a calendar or other collection of Olsen's prints.

Olsen must be considered an accomplislhed artist. And I probably would not even bring this up if the situation hadn't escalated to its present state, i.e. the publishing of Expressions of Faith.
