"I Was Jewish—Then I Found The Book Of Mormon" - Jason Olson

Jason Olson is the author of 'The Burning Book: A Jewish-Mormon Memoir.' I wanted to speak to Jason about his fascinating conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and how his Jewish identity influences his Latter-day Saint faith today. Some highlights from this episode include the role of the Book of Mormon in Jason's conversion, what we can learn from Judaism today, and why Jason was close to burning the Book of Mormon. -- You can find Jason’s book at the following links:   / the-burning-book   Follow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content: www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspod   / forallthesaintspod   For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:    • Why Latter-Day Saints Love General Conference   https://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm... https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast...
