Searching for God in America: Elder Neal A. Maxwell

As part of a series of conversations with religious leaders, Hugh Hewitt speaks with Elder Neal Maxwell, who--as a member of the quorum of 12 Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints--is an authority on the subject of the Mormon faith. His first religious awareness came as he witnessed the "healing" of his sister at an early age, but it was during WWII military service that he made a firm commitment to serve God. Maxwell comments on a number of matters concerning his personal religious beliefs and aspects of Mormon theology: his philosophy of healing, the experience of revelation, Mormon belief regarding scripture, extraterrestrial life, and life after death. Throughout, Hewitt keeps things moving with questions designed to put a personal face on a body of religion, and Maxwell is an excellent subject--warm, articulate and confident in his convictions. Other titles in the series include: Charles Colson, Father Thomas Keating, and Rabbi Harold Kushner. Recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (J. Reed)
