It wasn’t until he was 19 years old that Kenneth Johnson first met a Mormon—an intriguing young woman he would later marry. Prior to that encounter at a community dance, he was a typical young Englishman, largely indifferent to organized religion and very much caught up in popular music and sports.

Now, some 40 years later, having served in such callings as stake president and regional representative, he is a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Writing in his delightfully unique tone, Elder Johnson explains how he came to join the Church and uses experiences from his life to illustrate what a difference the gospel has made in his outlook, his spiritual awareness and his happiness. Humorous, tender and inspiring, Contemplations of a Convert reminds us what a marvelous blessing it is to be a member of the LDS Church.
