All Is Well in Zion: An Exegetical Dialectic on the LDS Canon in the Early Twenty-first Century

After returning from his two-year LDS mission, Peter Andersen worries that his lustful desires will forever damn his immortal soul. After crying out to God for deliverance from Satan's clutches, a mysterious stranger volunteers to mentor Peter as he seeks to attain the highest degree of celestial glory. What follows is a spine-tingling journey through paradox and self-discovery that forces Peter to confront the deeper realities of good and evil, the purpose of life, and even the very nature of God Himself. In this groundbreaking work, first-time novelist Lana Seroda deals with explicit sexual, racial, and heretical content. If you are offended or triggered by such things, or if you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Lana kindly asks that you do not read her book. As she says in her dedication: "I have experienced few things more devastating than a Mormon faith crisis, and I would hate to be the unintentional cause of yours (let Jeremy Runnells have that honor). So, if you get too far in and want to stop, just close the book and keep reminding yourself that this story is nothing more than the philosophies of men...mingled with scripture."
