Mr. Mormon: Advanced Discourses for Latter-day Saints, Mere-Mortals & Super-Mormons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517526092)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR John S. Pennington, Jr. is the creator and author of the audio book series, Mr. Mormon, which has been downloaded over 20,000 times, in twenty eight different countries via the website www.mrmormon.com. The inspiration for the Mr. Mormon book came when John made several CD recordings answering gospel questions and gave these recordings to his three sons. If, for some reason, he died early in life, John wanted his children to know of his testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Eventually a few friends listened to the recordings and encouraged John to put a book together. John was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1964 and grew up in Las Vegas Nevada, where at the age of seventeen, he joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served a full-time mission in the State of Alabama, USA. After returning home from his mission, he attended Brigham Young University and met his wife, Jane, who is from Alberta, Canada. John and Jane were married in the Cardston, Alberta Temple in 1985. John graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Economics. In the business world, John Pennington is a fund manager and a Co-Founder of a family of real estate related investment funds that currently manage over $10+ billion of Assets Under Management (AUM), and employs over one thousand people across eighteen states. He has served on the Advisory Board of the Westminster College School of Business in Salt Lake City, Utah, and also as a director of fundraising for the Utah Special Olympics program. He is currently a high priest in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has served in several ward bishoprics as 1st and 2nd counselor, with over twenty years of experience instructing priesthood quorums and young adult Sunday school classes. John repeatedly says, "I am not a Bible scholar by any measurement, but I do love studying the scriptures, and I retain the right to change my opinion or my thoughts on any gospel topic at any time in the future."
