About the Author

Thomas McConkie

Thomas McConkie was born in Salt Lake City, in the heart of Mormon faith. At a young age, he unexpectedly refused the very religion that his ancestors had dedicated themselves to building and strengthening in generations past. Working as a translator in Spain and human rights activist in Mainland China, he deepened his Buddhist meditation practice along the way only to hear a deep call back to his native tradition after a 20-year absence. In his debut book, Navigating Mormon Faith Crisis, he sounds a cry for universal spiritual growth and articulates a Faith grounded in a reality beyond mere belief or unbelief.

Drawing from Tantra, Mormonism, and Integral spirituality, they illuminate a shared mystical core that invites us to embody divinity through both transcendence and humble, concrete service.
