Block 1

My name is Ashley Sargeant and this is my story. After nine months of serving a volunteer LDS mission in Brasilia, I experienced a total mental breakdown that left me unable to finish the remaining nine months of service. Sister Coombs, my first mission companion in the Missionary Training Center in Sao Paulo, saw me on my last day in the field. Knowing I was going home early, she held me firmly by my shoulders, looked me right in the eye and gave me the greatest advice of my life:

“Whatever you do, just don’t stop Sister Sargeant.
DON’T STOP!”

Block 2 and 3

Believers and scientists have long wrestled over the relationship between science and faith. Steven L. Peck, an acclaimed Latter-day Saint author and scientist, demonstrates in this new book that both science and faith are indispensable tools we can use to navigate God’s strange and beautiful creation. Evolving Faith is a collection of technical, personal, sometimes whimsical essays about Mormon theology, evolution, human consciousness, the environment, sacred spaces, and more.

With the mind of a scientist, the soul of a believer, and the heart of a wanderer, Peck provides welcome companionship for women and men engaged in the unceasing quest for further light and knowledge.
