The Mormons presents an intimate look at the daily lives of these people of faith from around the world. Representing over seven years of work on five continents, Hedengren's book is comprehensive as few other treatments of this church have been. Organized by the church's threefold mission, The Mormons includes 20 interviews with ordinary church members, including a young Sunday School teacher in Southeast Asia, a sister missionary on Temple Square, and a mother and youth leader in Mexico, as well as more than 100 photographs of Latter-day Saints all over the world. Despite the book's sweeping range of cultures, callings and countries, Hedengren never loses sight of his subjects' humanity and presents them with candor and dignity.
