Product Overview
Part memoir, part analytical work, this book details Robert Bridgstock's life as an active Mormon, his struggles with his faith, his submerging of such doubts for the sake of keeping peace with his devout family, and his eventual departure from the Church. After joining the Mormon Church at the age of 18, Bridgstock went on to become the youngest Mormon bishop in England and remained active in the Church for more than four decades, serving in many capacities and deeply studying Mormon scripture and teachings, but after having, and voicing doubts about Mormonism, and because Church authorities and scripture never delivered satisfactory answers to his questions; as the years past, he slowly grew in confidence and in his relationship with God. He renounced his religion after his defiance at a Disciplinary Council, which excommunicated him. An enthralling read from a leading figure within the Church. This account provides a unique, day-to-day look into Mormon life.
