Once a cynical New York reporter trying to get the “scoop” on the Mormons, Luke is now one himself, and determined to live a Christ-like life.

A timely look at a troubling situation, Jeff Call takes us on a journey of profound importance, especially for all of us who want to learn what it means to stand for the right and yet, “turn the other cheek.”
