Scott shared her remarkable journey out of Mormonism as she uncovered shocking inaccuracies, inconsistencies, and contradictions in the faith she had loved and lived.

When Christians are urged to "walk in the footsteps" of the faith of Abraham, they emulate his wife Sarah, who quite literally followed behind him in the life of a nomad of faith. What their story shows -- and what Christians must know-- is that faith is not a shapeless stream, but rather comes in three phases: Promise, Contradiction, and Resolution. Learning how to navigate through those three phases brings peace and the knowledge that Sarah gained: that God becomes a Rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him through those phases.
