I came across this author through a comment on Instagram. I was following an influencer who was sharing about her Mormon faith, and Brandi had commented on one of her posts. Curious, I clicked on Brandi’s profile and discovered she had written a book about her journey to finding Jesus after growing up in the LDS church. Intrigued, I ordered the book right away.
This book has been a wonderful read and an invaluable resource for me as I share my faith with a friend who is a member of the LDS church. It has helped me better understand the teachings of the LDS church, how they differ from Christianity, and the inconsistencies within the LDS doctrine. I hope that many Mormons and ex-mos will read this book, and that Christians will also read it to strengthen their understanding and ability to defend their faith.

I personally found this book to be a fantastic read. I may be biased because I found it so relatable & comforting considering my Mormon background, but it still has great information in it for anyone interested in Mormonism & Christianity and the major differences between the two. Brandi Bronson does a great job sharing her testimony of how she left Mormonism and found Christ. She recounts the questions she had and the research she did to find answers. She reflects on the thoughts, beliefs, and judgements she had as an LDS member and contrasts them with what she now thinks & believes as a Christian. Her story was unique to me as it was so evidence & researched based rather than feelings based. In the book she explains why that was - as she relied so much on her feelings as a Mormon & when leaving that faith had a distrust with her emotions & feelings. As she mentions in the book, feelings don’t make good leaders but they can be good followers once evidence has convinced us of the truth!
I would recommend this book to a Mormon who is questioning their faith or who has already left Mormonism and is searching for the truth. It would also be a great read for any “ex-mo’s” who are now Christians and want to learn more solid reasons the LDS church is false as well as read another “ex-mo” to Christian testimony. Christians who are interested in learning more about Mormonism or how to better share the gospel with Mormons should definitely check this book out too. And lastly, I’d recommend this book to any Mormon who would be willing & open to reading it. It contains the uncomfortable truth that the LDS church is not the true church it claims to be with undeniable evidence & facts.
To end, here’s a great quote that Brandi quoted towards the end of her book.
“If you’ve already decided to believe the Gospels, take a second step and decide to defend them. Become a case-making Christian; work in your profession, live your life faithfully, devote yourself to the truth, and steadily prepare yourself to make a defense for what you believe…” - J. Warner Wallace

Brandi Bronson’s The Journey to Jesus is an excellent read.
What I appreciated most is that it’s not mainly an emotional tell-all. It’s more logical than emotional, and more apologetic than memoir, which honestly makes it really refreshing. Brandi doesn’t just share her journey. She carefully and clearly explains why Mormonism and biblical Christianity are not the same thing.
She also sprinkles in just enough humor to keep the book engaging. A few well-placed chuckles along the way make heavier topics easier to process without ever taking away from the seriousness of the message.
And that message is important... Mormonism and its god are fundamentally different from Christianity and the true Lord of grace. Brandi makes that case faithfully, thoughtfully, and with real conviction.
I’d gladly recommend this to anyone trying to process Mormonism honestly and compare it to the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
