Why I Left the Church - I was a lifelong active believing member of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, in the spring of 2010, when I was 46 years old I left the Church. - In this book I explain why I decided to leave. I know it is difficult for some members of the Church to understand why anyone would leave. I also know there are many misconceptions about why people leave. I hope this book will help my family, my friends, and members of the Church understand me and others like me. - The beginning of this book does not contain any of the evidences against the Church. I'm asking everyone to read at least the first 12 pages. I understand the topics discussed in this book are sensitive to many people. I greatly appreciate and respect those who are willing to read this book in its entirety.
