I'm so glad you're here with us. I hate this part of the week. I hate this part of the

0:25.0

week because I know it's almost over and then I got to wait before I get to do this again. But at

0:30.6

least we're ending on a strong note. This is going to be a really, really good hour. I've already

0:34.0

gotten to meet Jeremy Christensen our guest this hour and what a wonderful, fine, engaging person.

0:41.9

And your calls are welcome if you'd like to talk with him. He's the author of this book from

0:46.4

the Susquehanna to the Tiber, a memoir of conversion from Mormonism to the Roman Catholic Church.

0:53.6

If you would like to talk about that, if that topic grabs you. If you'd like to get in on the

0:58.2

conversation in any way at all, you are welcome to call 888-318-7884-318-7884. Jeremy grew up in a

1:53.2

office goes, what a great conversation that was. That guy is fascinating. Now I got you all built

2:00.1

up for the hour. Yeah, hopefully I don't disappoint. No, you better not. Let me just put it that way.

2:06.0

You better not. 888-318-7884 is the number. Triple 8-318-7884. What's it like growing up a Mormon

2:16.0

in a little Mormon town in Utah? In some ways, it sounds kind of idyllic. Mormons are lovely

2:23.6

people in Utah as a lovely state. Right. The first answer that came to my mind was not too bad.

2:33.2
