Book Description
Thousands of people are baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints every week. In many ways, Bryan Ready's story is no different than any other convert-except that Bryan was an ordained Southern Baptist Pastor with a formal theological education. He firmly believed that Joseph Smith was a false prophet. In 1979, Bryan and his mother were driving home from a fireside featuring members of the Osmond Family. He had listened to their testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ and was impressed. He turned to his mother and said, "Mom, I want to be a Mormon." Her answer was a firm and adamant "No!" Over the next thirty-five years, Bryan became a committed follower of Jesus Christ-and a staunch anti-Mormon. But then things changed. His heart began to soften as he opened his mind to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. His faith would face the ultimate test of conviction-to quit his ministry and seek baptism. This is Bryan's story.
