Leaving the Mormon Church With...

Darlene Taylor

Leaving the Mormon ChurchPrepare to embark on a remarkable journey. As my story unfolds, it was 2015 – I was sitting at my computer, planning my gospel doctrine class. I stood up to get something, and I instantly transcended into a spiritual encounter, an overwhelming deep-seated sensation of instant knowledge that went down to my cells. When I opened my eyes from this Experience, I saw the world differently. I walked slowly into my bedroom and took my garments off. I’ve never gone back to the Mormon Church or any church, since. In this book, I share: • How I learned to communicate and commune straight to my Higher Power instead of going through men to get to heavenly expansion. You will find this book to be very God-centered.• For those who have suffered judgment and pain from behaving or thinking contrary to the teachings in the church and are trying to find their way, this book is for you.• Although I have spent a lifetime within the Mormon doctrine, I do not claim to be a scriptorian or authority on religious or spiritual enlightenment. • I kept this sacred Experience quiet for some time and am now sharing it in hopes it may help those who are at a crossroads with their faith. Moreover, my journey took an unexpected turn when I faced a stage four cancer diagnosis. This profound moment became an opportunity to dig deeper, to reaffirm and embrace my beliefs and authentic self in the face of a new reality.At its core, this book is about love. With an open heart, I invite you to join me on this transformative adventure as I share my story with you and inspire your own exploration of love, spirituality, and the sacred mysteries that shape your lives.
