In Days of Awe Gale Boyd reminds Mormons of their close connection with ancient Israel. She teaches members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that they have roots that extend back to their literal, blood Old Testament ancestry and that there is much to learn from that connection (Kent Hunter, Orem Institute of Religion). In explaining some important traditional and doctrinal basics of Judaism and their similarities to what Mormons learn in church, she provides a foundation for a deep dive into the Jewish high holy days to find the Messiah Mormons worship. Bonus: Richard K. Scott's paper supporting a Thursday crucifixion for Christ.
