Scott Jenson, a theatre grad student on the verge of expulsion and secretly battling a pornography addiction, is called to direct his ward's road show on the theme "Our Savior's Love." As he assembles an unlikely cast—a depressed young mother, a lonely widow, a hollow elders quorum president, and a marginalized artist—the process of dramatizing Christ's healing miracles becomes a vehicle of real grace. On performance night, art and the Atonement converge, and lives are quietly, powerfully changed. A story that treats pornography addiction with honesty and hope—rare, needed, and redemptive without being graphic. The humble, much-mocked ward road show becomes the setting for real miracles and healing. Multiple interlocking characters mean nearly every reader sees themselves—the addict, the depressed mom, the burned-out leader, the outsider. Endorsed by counselors and BYU faculty as an authentic portrait of Christ's healing power for the 'afflictions of the heart, mind, and spirit.' “The Atonement is not just a tool to use when we fall off the track. The Atonement is the track.”Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint who has quietly struggled—with sin, depression, loneliness, or burnout in a calling—and needs reassurance of Christ's power to heal ordinary people.
