OVERVIEW

Micah Wilder might have been called a perfect Mormon missionary, young, enthusiastic and passionate about his religion and the God he knew from his childhood. His encounter with a Baptist pastor changed his life though at the onset, Micah had conversion of the pastor as his goal. That encounter began the change but the real change came from God’s word. As Micah dig deeper into Scripture, his heart and passion changed until Christ became his all in all. What this meant to a dyed-in-the-wool member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, one who was on his mission was totally life changing. 

Micah writes from his heart with love and empathy for all concerned. Readers will feel they are on this spiritual journey with the author and be inspired by Micah’s passage to grace.
