The Road Show

Scott Jenson, a theatre grad student on the verge of expulsion and secretly battling a pornography addiction, is called to direct his ward's road show on the theme "Our Savior's Love." As he assembles an unlikely cast—a depressed young mother, a lonely widow, a hollow elders quorum president, and a marginalized artist—the process of dramatizing Christ's healing miracles becomes a vehicle of real grace. On performance night, art and the Atonement converge, and lives are quietly, powerfully changed.

• A story that treats pornography addiction with honesty and hope—rare, needed, and redemptive without being graphic.
• The humble, much-mocked ward road show becomes the setting for real miracles and healing.
• Multiple interlocking characters mean nearly every reader sees themselves—the addict, the depressed mom, the burned-out leader, the outsider.
• Endorsed by counselors and BYU faculty as an authentic portrait of Christ's healing power for the 'afflictions of the heart, mind, and spirit.'

“The Atonement is not just a tool to use when we fall off the track. The Atonement is the track.”

Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint who has quietly struggled—with sin, depression, loneliness, or burnout in a calling—and needs reassurance of Christ's power to heal ordinary people.
