FAIR work
Ash is on the management team for the Foundation for Apologetic Information & Research (FAIR), an international, volunteer, non-profit organization that produces material defending the LDS faith and answers queries from members (and investigators) who have challenging questions about Mormonism. Ash has written dozens of articles for FAIR as well as his own website, MormonFortress.com.[1]
Ash has also written articles for the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (FARMS), Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, and Sunstone Magazine.
In June 2008, FAIR published Ash's book entitled, Shaken Faith Syndrome: Strengthening One's Testimony in Face of Criticism and Doubt[2] which has received mostly positive reviews.
In December 2008, Cedar Fort published Ash's book, Of Faith and Reason: 80 Evidences Supporting the Prophet Joseph Smith.[3]
For nearly four years Ash wrote a weekly column about LDS issues for the Deseret News (and Church News) owned online publication, the Mormon Times. With the reduction of newspaper staff (including editors) Ash's unpaid Mormon Times column (along with other columns) was eventually discontinued.
