Just an update

We have all been busy these days. Daniel has been living in Utah for the summer, working for the LDS Motion Picture Studio. But he has had some time to do radio interviews and try to plan some more events. He has also been asked to do a book signing, along with other authors at Education Week at BYU Idaho on Friday, 2 August. More details and archives to be posted.

Daniel's BMAF presentation on metals and gold plates is now on YouTube as a high quality video. You can watch it by clicking here.

Daniel interviewed for the Provo Daily Herald

Last Sunday, the Daily Herald newspaper in Provo had an article about the development of an internal Book of Mormon maps application for tablets and phones. Jedediah McClure is taking years of study of topographic data from locations mentioned in the Book of Mormon and is working on compiling them into an interactive and animated feature-filled app. Locations will include information about what went on there, according to the scriptural account. He isn't making any attempts to match up sites with geography in Mesoamerica or any other real-world location, but his idea sounds very useful for those wishing greater understanding of its history.

Daniel was interviewed, along with Brant Gardner, for his views on Mesoamerica as a likely candidate for Book of Mormon events. We look forward to more development on this project and wish Jedediah much success. Currently, he is seeking funding on Kickstarter.

New radio and podcast interviews

While living in Utah, Daniel has been busy with interviews and other book-related stuff. He has enjoyed his opportunities to explain LDS beliefs and to talk about the research and finds that have gone into our books. On Memorial Day, he was in the studio with Mills Crenshaw on his show Drive Time Live on 630 am, talking about new developments in Mesoamerican archaeology, the upcoming cruise, and other related topics.

On 7 June, he was interviewed on the Ghost Whisperer podcast with Rachel Love and Connie Hansen. There were some technical issues that got in the way, but it was a very uplifting and enlightening show.

In the afternoon of Sunday 23 June, Daniel will be the guest on Truth Frequency Radio. Stay tuned for more info and links to listen live or download show archives.

A new radio interview for Daniel

Recently, Daniel was asked to be a guest on the Mind Magick podcast with Lady Dee. This show on Culture Freedom Radio seeks to uplift, inspire, and empower on spiritual and paranormal topics. Daniel had and enjoyable time and answered many questions about our doctrine. She was quite interested as she did not know any LDS members and was unfamiliar with what we believe.

A new podcast interview

Our blog has been quiet for a while, as life takes its toll and keeps us all busy with work, family, and many other things. Daniel has been working on working his presentation on hard evidence for ancient American horses, given at last year's BMAF conference, into a final paper, complete with full references and footnotes. He is also preparing for the cruise to Book of Mormon lands by Cruise Lady, which he will be headlining. The cruise and tours are scheduled for September of this year, so clear your calendars. We will post detailed information soon.

Minister Fowler

Daniel has also been in touch with hosts for podcasts about being a guest again. Some are in the works, but this Thursday evening the fourth of April, Daniel will be on The True Gospel of Christ, a podcast on Blogtalk Radio, hosted by Minister Roderick Fowler. He will be talking about the books, our studies, and LDS views in general. This should be an introductory show with a second one planned later if all goes well for listeners to call in.
