Converted to the Mormon Church in 1960 at age fourteen, after forty-three years of clinging to that faith, Jim resigned membership in 2003 for no other reason than he could no longer hold to belief in God. He never considered why the Mormon Church was not true and assumed Joseph Smith to have been a good, albeit deluded man.

" I was surprised by how much I liked this book.

It started out as another "high action" thriller, the kind of book I like to read at night to clear my mind after the "research-for-my-writing" I often read during the day.

More edge of the seat reading - a breathtaking ride as Nick Stone is enticed into another black op. The fifth in the series and still as entertaining and thrilling as the first story. Gripping stuff.

“I spent 43 years believing in a false religion.

“As long as people want the Mormon Church to be true,
more than they are willing to face the possibility that it is not,
they will not entertain evidence or reason.
Delusion becomes a choice.”

“You cannot work science around a predetermined belief system;
you can only work (or rework) a belief system around science,
current knowledge, and new evidence.
If you are not willing to do that, you believe in the fanciful
instead of understanding the factual – and that is delusional.”
Jim Whitefield

“Wilderness gave us knowledge. Wilderness made us human. We came from here. Perhaps that is why so many of us feel a strong bond to this land called Serengeti; it is the land of our youth.”
