Why They Left: The True Story of Sandra Tanner

by Roger Resler (Narrator), Sandra Tanner

As a great-great-grand-daughter of Brigham Young, Sandra Tanner was brought up to believe the Mormon church was the restoration of the true church of Jesus Christ. But as she began High-school, Sandra's childhood faith was challenged by unanswered questions posed to her, ironically, by her own mother. As she began relaying these questions about Mormonism to her Latter-day Saint school teachers, she found the answers increasingly unsatisfactory. The security of her Mormon world was dealt a further blow after meeting her soon-to-be husband Jerald Tanner who had also been questioning his own Mormon faith. The rest, as they say, is history. This compact disc features the personal testimony of one of Mormonism's most well-known critics, told in her own words. Together the Tanners have authored over forty books on the subject of Mormonism. They are well known for their extensive research into Mormon history, doctrine and culture. 1. Introduction; 2.
