In 1844, Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ran for president. Since then Mormons have held prominent positions of business and government throughout the United States, becoming tightly woven into the fabric of American culture. But what is it that Mormons believe?

Deferring to the leaders of the LDS Church, former Massachusetts governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been tight-lipped when asked about his faith. What many Americans don’t know is that Romney is one of these leaders he defers to, having served as a prominent LDS bishop and tracing his heritage in the Church to the inner circle of Joseph Smith himself.

Romney’s secrecy has only served to fuel Americans’ suspicion of a religious group that has often been at odds with the wider culture. In this timely book, pastor and author Andrew Jackson uncovers the history, teachings and practices of the Latter-day Saints, compares them to Evangelical Christian beliefs and challenges Romney to be open and transparent to the American people about what he believes and its implications if he is elected president.

In this timely book, pastor and author Andrew Jackson uncovers the history, teachings and practices of Mitt Romney and his fellow Latter-day Saints. Compares them to Evangelical Christian beliefs and challenges Romney to be open and transparent to the American people about what he believes and its implications if he is elected president.

Destroying Angels, secret rituals, massacres, blood oaths passed down through generations and a plot for one world theocracy. Sounds like an historical-fictional Dan Brown novel. What if it was all true and the 2012 Presidential Election was the catalyst to the fulfillment of a prophecy…

People should not worry that Faith of my Fathers is a book written to condemn all religion, or Mormonism in particular. Instead, we seek to explore the implications of not disclosing relevant information about a candidate for President’s past. The role of the POTUS is a unique position. It is an important position with vast powers and symbolic meaning. Each president represents not only himself, but he and his family, represent America as a whole to the rest of the World. The symbol of the obscene “vulture capitalist,” corporate raider, Mitt Romney portrays is just one side of a completely tarnished candidate for President. His family tree is even more scandalous than that. The question becomes, do we want to disregard common etiquette to discuss such a sensitive topic? The answer is yes.

Above all else Faith of my Fathers gives readers an insight as to why Mitt Romney is such a world-class liar. This trait he shares in common with certain people he would consider his fore-fathers. Mitt Romney comes from a set of people who were known, just like he is, for fabricating stories and misleading others with lies. This type of blatant disregard for the truth should be questioned and rejected in total, not rewarded with a vote of confidence.

During the gathering of our research, we found interesting questions that would reveal a lot, if Mitt Romney chose to answer, such as;
1. Do you believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God?
2. Is Parley Pratt important to the history of this nation and why?
3. Why did your family tree come from Mexico? Why have you never returned?
4. Have Mormons ever sworn a Blood Oath of Vengeance against the United States?
5. Did you baptize your father-in-law by proxy?
6. How many baptisms of the dead have you performed?
7. Is the constitution hanging by a thread?
8. Is gay marriage an assault on the institution of marriage? Is polygamy an assault on the institution of marriage?
9. Have you ever sworn an oath of vengeance against the United States?
10. Do you repudiate and denounce anyone who has sworn any oath of vengeance on the United States?
11. Do Mormons consider themselves Christians? Do you consider yourself a Christian?
12. Which fathers do you think of when you say ‘the faith of my fathers’?
13. Is there anything too damaging or private in your tax returns that you won’t make them public for 10 previous years?
14. Was Joseph Smith known to many as a liar?
15. Do you know about the White Horse Prophecy?

The relevance of each of these questions are explored in this book.
