– Mormons have always had a peculiar hold on the American imagination, but few know who the Mormons actually are, or who they claim to be, and their story is one of the great neglected American narratives. –

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of America's fastest-growing
religions, and relative to its size, one of the richest. Church membership is twelve million
people worldwide, a credit to late LDS President Gordon Hinckley, who died on January
27, 2008. Hinckley traveled the world in an effort to establish Mormonism in the
mainstream, even appearing on late-night talk shows to do so. In less than one century,
the Mormon Church has transformed itself from a fringe sect into a thriving religion that
embraces common-held American values. Its members include university Presidents,
corporate leaders, and prominent politicians, including 2008 presidential hopeful Mitt
Romney.
