  • In 2004, Chad Daybell started his own publishing company and immediately put out three awful books for children: a guide to baptism, a picture book about Jesus's last week on earth, and a Choose Your Own Adventure-style book about the publication of the Book of Mormon. We'll break down all three in this video.

      I have to recant: there's one I can't find! In fact, I only discovered that it exists because of the Wayback Machine. Apparently the first book Spring Creek Books put out was a spiral-bound (!) memoir he wrote about his mission. I can't find any other place he mentioned it, let alone the book itself.

    I have really, really loved the way you woven in research about Chad’s faith and belief. I have some feelings about true crime but I think you have taken such an interesting approach and you’re always respectful of this man’s victims.
    An idea: I would love to hear your thoughts on the MANY books by Michael and Debi Pearl. They write TO TRAIN UP A CHILD which has been connected to the deaths of 7 children, I believe (they’ve never been tried or anything, but it’s been touted as a fundie-favorite child abuse manual). There’s also CREATED TO BE HIS HELP MEET. I think your insights would be fascinating!

    I don't know if you actually realize how great, entertaining, and thoughtful you are. I get so much from every stream. I was watching with my 34 year old son and we were saying oh ya and laughing so hard because of some of the "obvious" things you point out especially when it comes to children. You are certainly tapped in.
    We recently watched a true crime story of a 10 year old who killed his father and asked the cop on the way to the station if his dad gets another life? Omg it broke my heart. Like a video game you get many lives but this 10 year old didn't realize life doesn't work like that. We discussed what the difference was in our family and agreed it had to be because we always had animals from birth and learned about life and death cycles young. My son said well that's why your first pets should be goldfish. I was laughing so hard but there is truth in that, it doesn't take a lot to teach children simple concepts, you could use a plant but should be taught early.
    We got so much from this ty it was a great bonding time for us in fact. Anyway your great and funny too. We will be forever fans and supporters.

      Thank you so much! The only book I haven't been able to find is a memoir Chad wrote called My Mission to New Jersey. I don't know how many copies he printed--it was the first book Spring Creek Books put out, and it was a spiral bound, so he might have printed it at an office supply store. He never mentioned it except on a single page of Spring Creek Books's website. I imagine it's nearly impossible to find, so don't go to any trouble, but if you ever find it, I'll be thrilled.

      I haven't read the book, partly because it's hundreds of dollars and partly because Kouri had a ghostwriter, so I'm not sure how much influence she had over the contents--or the cover. Do crows feature in the story? If they do, I think that could be significant. However, looking at the cover, I think it's just as likely that the illustrator threw in some birds to balance the composition. Have you read the book?
