Hello everybody and welcome to what I think is the sixth or the seventh edition of the Mormon Stories Book Club.

This is Heather Olson-Beele and I'm excited to be here tonight to talk about a really cool book

and with some really cool readers and people just in general.

So hopefully this is going to be fun.

I'm here tonight to talk about a book called The Street Legal Version of Mormon's Book,

which is written by Michael Hicks.

And I'm going to have Michael introduce himself and our two readers,

but I'll just tell you guys quickly that the other people that are here with us tonight are Mark Brown and Jonathan Yearington.

So I guess we'll just start, actually we'll start with Mark and then Jonathan and then we'll end up with Michael.

If you guys could just tell us a little bit by way of background, maybe Michael could give us a little bit more information.

Since it's his book, but Mark and Jonathan, if you guys could just tell us a little bit about yourself

where you're from, a little bit of background information, what you do, then you can start us off.

Starting with me, okay.

I call Houston, Texas home.

I pursue Mormon studies as an avocation.

And I think the thing that sets me apart in this panel tonight is I am pretty sure that I am the only person

who has ever been invited by the Word Choir Director to not participate in the Word Choir.
