Revising Eternity

“Revising Eternity indeed revises any misguided notions we might have of uniformity in the Latter-day Saint experience, boldly and candidly opening to view the sometimes intense, sometimes joyous, sometimes sorrowful lives of a wide variety of writers, and with its myriad perspectives the book invites us to more deeply know and thus achieve greater empathy with one another.”–Patrick Madden, author of Disparates: Essays “This is a fascinating compilation, detailing as it does what happens when an exigent definition of righteousness and propriety meets the reality of human nature–a work at once sad, sobering, heartening, and above all enlightening. Highly recommended.”–Levi S. Peterson, author of A Rascal by Nature, a Christian by Yearning: A Mormon Autobiography
