D. Jeff Burton is the Author of the Book “For Those Who Wonder” The book is written to help latter-day saints who find themselves on the fringes or “borderlands” of Mormonism. For those who have doubts and are skeptical by nature, there is a place for you and Bro. Burton is living proof that one can “Lead with Faith” in the midst of doubts. I believe Bro. Burton can be a an example held up for each of us to follow in navigating our own faith transitions. His book is available on Amazon as well as his site.

This is one of my favorite podcasts. I wish I had heard of Jeff’s book before. I’m glad that it’s been around for a while, and it will come in handy now and in the future. I’ve started up some fun conversations on facebook based on some of the stories in the articles linked on Jeff’s website.
I liked what you said about making those going through a faith transition feel more comfortable about their situation. I think it important to tell such people that no matter what they decide we will still be their friend, and that we don’t think less of them for what they’re going through–actually that we think MORE of them for their integrity.
Very interesting. I think you gave enough “warnings”. But like Bill said, just when you think you know most of the history, you hear about a 4 inch rule and you have to say ‘WHAT!’ outloud. Wow. Wow. And if I take a sip of tea I am not allowed to go to the temple. Wow
