Exciting Times of an Ordinary Mormon

by Keith L. Hancock

Life is often filled with exciting experiences--ups and downs and good times and bad as one grows and matures. In Exciting Times of an Ordinary Mormon , author Keith L. Hancock recounts stories from his life as an "ordinary Mormon" who grew up during difficult circumstances on a Canadian farm and experienced his parents' steady climb toward economic stability. In this memoir, Hancock shares how he was called to serve on a mission in Argentina and later built a rewarding and adventurous life with his wife, Connie, and eventually their children and grandchildren. From playing by the river with his older brother Cal, to listening to Connie's singing, to building a professional career and serving in his church, Hancock shares many of his life's highlights. From Hancock's birth to the present, Exciting Times of an Ordinary Mormon narrates the story of a man who lived life to the fullest. Praise for

There are many Mormons living here in southern Alberta and i find them to be very good neighbors, honest and hardworking and so found the Author's memoirs to be an accurate portrayal of the many L.D.S. members i have encountered.

I wanted more stories from Keith’s life. Much of the book is written as a log of accomplishments and experiences. I wish there were more details to the stories. I want to feel how the situations made him feel and not just be told.
