More DescriptionThis captivating tale conveys the story of a man who found himself thrust into religious discussion as a young Mormon boy. Full of remorse, turmoil, and guilt, the young boy eventually finds himself a man with two children and a wife. As the result of falling on hard times he finally asks the forbidden question: is there even a God?
"By seven years old I realized there was an experience that everyone was talking about as if it was pretty amazing. This feeling of peace, this burning of your bosom, the Holy Ghost. Some people said it spoke to them directly in words, others reported it as more of thoughts or feelings. My entire world was experiencing something I was not able to discern in any of the reported ways. I puzzled intensely to determine what actions or mental discipline were required to experience this thing which was portrayed as normal. Desperately, I tackled these concepts to make sense of them. Surely this sensation existed I just could not isolate it from my own thoughts."
Gain a greater perspective, regardless of your own theological persuasion, as we get to know the inner workings of the outwardly unexpressed mind during twenty years spent searching for God. If you yourself are questioning your belief, or if you simply know someone who admits they have no belief, this may very well be the explanation you have been looking for. Understanding someone is the first step towards accepting them once again.
