    About this audiobook

    At the end of World War II, John Christiansen, a Mormon soldier, was visiting the Vatican when the Pope singled him out.

    “You must be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I’d like to talk to you.”

    John found himself in the very rare position of having a private audience with Pope Pius XII.

    What did the Pope want to know about the Mormon church?

    This fascinating account comes from a recording discovered on an old reel-to-reel tape. 

    Through digital technology, the audio has been restored and now available as an audiobook.
