Raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, he grew up believing the Book of Mormon was divinely inspired Scripture, that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God, and that worthy Mormon men could become gods. But the Lord had other plans for Steve. A chance encounter with a Catholic apologist sent him on a search for truth. Poring through Scripture and history, he sought the One, True Church of Jesus Christ, and he came to a conclusion he never expected.
