An Unlikely Mormon

Glenn Beck tells the story of his path into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Looking back on his life before the decision, he describes the questions, reading and personal experiences that led him to take Mormon belief seriously, and the choice that changed how he understood himself and his family. The book mixes autobiography with reflection on the teachings he encountered and the people who shaped his thinking along the way. It will appeal to readers curious about conversion stories and about why someone might embrace a faith that many outsiders find unfamiliar.
