I have read hundreds of books in my life, but never a story like this. This is a story of wrestling with the big questions of life: Does God exist? Has he spoken? What does it mean to be a good person? One of my favorite aspects of the book is that Jared engages with Christian thinkers as diverse as C. S. Lewis and John Lennox as well as atheist writers such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. They are part of his journey, and in surprising ways, each has played a pivotal role. How God used Dawkins in Jared’s life is one of the most memorable parts of the book. You might wonder what happened. Well, you’re going to have to read and find out for yourself!

Imagine inviting a young couple to lunch after church. You ask how they got together. 'We met in a polygamist cult,' they answer. You're about to hear an unexpected, riveting testimony to God's grace. That's the story you get in this book from Jared Larson. You'll be angered by the actions of the polygamist cult. But you'll be amazed by the gospel of Jesus Christ that reaches even these dark corners of our fallen world.

This is a riveting and eye-opening account of what life looks like inside a Mormon cult. When his faith unravelled, you might expect Jared Larson to have abandoned belief in God altogether. However, in this moving account he explains how, despite everything, he discovered the grace of God and the truth of who Jesus really is (with the help of Aslan, CS Lewis and some hobbits!). Anyone who has ever felt let down by religion should read this book and find out why losing your faith isn’t the end of the story.

You will be gripped, as I was, by how deliverance from such an evil cult became possible only through an understanding of the central truths of historic Christian faith.
