A few years ago, Melinda Willwright Brown began to be bothered by the gulf between the

divine doctrine of gender relations and the difficult realities many women face.

She started a serious search for increased understanding and insights to help her reconcile

these contradictions and discrepancies.

Now four years later, her favorite scripture is Doctrine and Covenants 42-61, which says,

if thou shalt ask, thou shalt receive revelation upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge,

that thou mayest know the mysteries and peaceable things that which bringeth joy, that which

bringeth life eternal.

She hopes her new book, Eve and Adam, will offer readers a hopeful perspective on loving

life.

Melinda Willwright Brown earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Brigham Young University

and is a respected teacher and public speaker.

She has a passion for solving problems and has been involved in several organizations, including

Fight the New Drug, the Now I Can Foundation, Days for Girls, Better Days 2020, Big Ocean

Women and the Utah Valley University Women's Success Center.

Melinda and her husband Doug are the parents of four children and some of her favorite things

include sightseeing, sand dollars, and grand babies.

This is All-In, an LDS living podcast where we ask the question, what does it really mean

to be All-In, the gospel of Jesus Christ?

I'm Morgan Jones and I am so grateful to have Melinda Willwright Brown here with me today,

also known as Mindy.

Is that right?
