This man’s story is so fascinating! Here’s what the description of the video says:

“Jason was born to a Jewish mother and Lutheran father but practiced mainly Judaism growing up. He devoutly studied the Torah and attended Hebrew school but knew of Jesus Christ from celebrating Christian holidays at home. Jason’s friendship with Latter-day Saints led him to receive a copy of the Book of Mormon. In his story, he reveals the pivotal moment when he almost burned the Book of Mormon out of anger, only to feel God stop him.”

Listen to his story below!

I love that he was convicted by the statement on the title page of The Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is underlined in the image below, regarding what the Lord has done for his fathers of the house of Israel.

I’m excited to get his book, shown below. It has an average 5 star rating on amazon. Here is the summary:

“Jason Olson felt God’s presence in the Jewish tradition he was raised in. So what was he supposed to do when he also heard God’s voice in the Book of Mormon?

“The Burning Book traces Jason’s spiritual journey from aspiring rabbi to Latter-day Saint missionary, from Brigham Young University student to Israeli immigrant, and from Jewish Studies scholar to military chaplain. It’s a memoir about one man’s experience finding God: in two faiths, in two countries, and in the lives of other people.

“Co-written with novelist and poet James Goldberg (author of The Five Books of Jesus and A Book of Lamentations), The Burning Book offers readers a glimpse into Jewish and Mormon cultures and asks what it means to seek the voice of prophets in a modern, multicultural world.”

His story reminds me of Aunt Nancy’s story, which you can read about here. Her book even has a similar title, called, The Burning Bush.
