When Mormons Doubt

A Way to Save Relationships and Seek a Quality Life

By: Jon Ogden

Narrated by: Tia Rider Sorensen

What do you do when your religious beliefs differ from your spouse, parent, child, sibling, or friend? For many Mormons, these differences can be heartbreaking. This book explores how truth, beauty, and goodness can save our relationships even when we disagree with those we love.

This book is for:

1. Mormons who want to better understand a family member or friend who doubts 2. Unorthodox or former Mormons who are looking for ways to talk about their transition with believing family members and friends 3. People who are experiencing a Mormon faith crisis and wondering where to turn

an account of beauty and truth

written from obviously a heart and mind that have plumbed great depth and breadth of both the beauty and truth inside humans and our societies. it reviews its subject wholly absent of judgement and embraces substance for both a mormon believer and a less-orthodox or non believing mormon. the author succeeds wonderfully at describing the conditions and offering serious, substantial, and do-able things to save mixed faith families or societies. this is THE BEST BOOK on the topic. it is absolutely a must read/listen.

Eloquent book

Loved it. Good ideas for taking life less serious. Educational too. Very good. Narrative. Interesting read on different faiths.

Very insightful perspective and framework...

This is a sensitive topic, and I think the author did an amazing job of capturing different aspects of this journey and helpful insights to consider while navigating relationships amidst doubts. I consider this framework of finding common beliefs in relationships to be very helpful as well.

This has helped me with my relationships

Great info, and is not set to disparage the lds church. It helps those who have left it and those that are still believing members nurture and grow thier relationships

Beautifully Put

I loved this book! It was recommended to another member of a post Mormon fb group I'm in, struggling with a lifelong friendship with an active member who stayed in the church. I love how the focus is on love, open-mindedness, humility, and the desire to make this world a better place to live. It gives examples of people who learn how to better communicate, have an open dialogue, and respect for another's views and beliefs. The point of this book is not to divide, but find common ground for "believers" and "nonbelievers" across the board. It's so uplifting and enlightening. If you have left the faith, or have a loved one who has left, please read/listen with an open mind and heart! Thank you for sharing this gift with the world. ♥️

great for anyone questioning their religion.

great life advice. it didn't tell you what to believe, but how to discover what to believe.

Just what I needed!

I have been struggling for months knowing how to have a positive relationship with my Mormon family since I’ve stopped believing Mormonism. This book helped me reign in my anger and sadness and take a more middle of the road look at what I can do to positively impact our relationship! It’s so thought provoking and helped me see everything as a big picture. Love love love this book and I’ll definitely be reading it again! Thank you Jon for being brave enough to write this book and share your thoughts! I can tell you have put a lot of time and effort into seeking truth and beauty!
