‘Mormon Land’: Researcher Jana Riess discusses survey that reveals why LDS young people leave, why they stay and how they differ

Writer-researcher Jana Riess tackles those questions and more after completing a massive multigenerational survey of Mormons and former Mormons. She shares and discusses many of her findings in the latest edition of “Mormon Land.”
