The Great and Abominable Church of the Devil
Published in 1972, 240 pages.

      Over the years different authors have written about possible organizations which filled the definition of the Church of the Devil. No organization has the ability to murder and rob with impunity, (1 Ne. 13, 14) save government. Prostituted governments have murdered and enslaved more of their own citizens, and citizens of other nations a thousand fold times the murders and enslaving done outside of government. Have the LDS and other Christians been seduced to partake of the spoils of prostituted government? Has the Church of the Devil gathered in many members who do not even know they are a part of it?

      Chapters include: (1) A satanic, world-wide organization foretold, (2) A great Division, (3) Deception, (4) The Lord judges men the laws they sanction or oppose, (5) Free Agency, (6) Priestcraft, (7) Socialized education vs. the modem prophets, and much, much more.

The Moral, Basis of a Free Society
Published in 1972, 236 pages

      Elder Andersen, an attorney with law degrees from both Harvard and Stanford taught business law at BYU in their Business College. The first day of class he would give his students an ungraded, questionnaire of 25-30 questions to get their beliefs regarding the proper role of government. Unknown to the students, the questions included the famous 10 points of Marx’s Communist Manifesto of 1848. To his surprise, the students, on average accepted 2/3's of Marx’s plans to destroy a capitalist society.

      Tiffs book was used as a syllabus the first two weeks of class to teach the proper role of government as taught by the scriptures and the prophets. It is the most carefully written of his books as he refined it each semester to answer objections of students. Elder Andersen believed those two weeks would in all probability be the first and last exposure most of his students would ever have to an organized presentation on government, the way it ought to be. All law should be based on the Golden Rule. It was Christ who identified this as, the law and the prophets. Government becomes easy when your morals, your conscience and the teachings of the prophets are brought together in this book. [p. 246]

The Book of Mormon and the Constitution
Published in 1995, 266 pages.

      This book was finally published three years after Elder Andersen died. It’s a compilation of chapters assembled by his family, of a book never completed. Elder Andersen draws the parallels of (a) The Nephite experience with the Gospel and self-role (the Reign of the Judges) for the 125 years before Christ came and their brief millennium, and (b) the U.S. experience with the Gospel and self-rule, which is leading to our millennium. Many members, after reading this book understand the statement that “the Book of Mormon was written for our day.” They also understand why Ezra Taft Benson said in a letter to Elder Andersen (included in the book), “I have said to many people that a person will come to be better informed regarding what’s happening in the world today by reading the Book of Mormon than all the magazines and newspapers combined.”

      For those who care to study the issue, the prophets are united in their positions on socialism and government welfare.

Many Are Called but Few Are Chosen
Published in 1967, Revised in 1997, 138 pages.

      This was the first book published by Elder Andersen, while a professor at BYU. In April, 1972's General Conference, Ezra Taft Benson urged the entire Church to read it. The title of the book is taken from D&C 121:34-40. Herein, the Lord talks about priesthood holders and the fact that many are given the priesthood in this life, but few of us will retain it in the next. Why?

      This book details the answers that should concern every member and priesthood holder. Where do you and I most frequently exercise that unrighteous dominion that will cause us to lose our priesthood? Our attitude toward agency in this life is reflected in the laws we favor. Government is but an extension of those beliefs in action. Find out why Ezra Taft Benson urged you to read this book!

The Proper and Improper Role of Government
Published in the 1960's, Reprinted in 1997 with additions. 56 pages.

      Twenty-one pages of this booklet is a reprint of Ezra Taft Benson’s classic talk in the 1960's titled, “The Proper Role of Government.” Six pages cover a talk by H. Verlan Andersen on socialism and the dangers from within. The remaining twenty-three pages are two appendixes covering graphs of America’s decline as we have adopted the laws of socialism. Also included are statements by all the prophets talking about socialism and/or welfare state principles.
