The Next Mormons

In The Next Mormons, Jana Riess examines the evolving relationship between American Millennials and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, revealing a notable shift in loyalty among this generation. Through a comprehensive national study and personal interviews, she highlights how while young adult Mormons maintain strong beliefs, their allegiance to institutional norms is waning. Many Millennials face challenges reconciling the Church's conservative values with their progressive views on individualism and inclusivity, prompting a growing number to depart from the faith. The audiobook presents a nuanced picture of a generation caught between tradition and a dynamically changing cultural landscape.
