      <image:caption>Evan was born in the church and grew up in Murray, Utah. He served a full-time mission in California from 1994-1996 and then married his wife, Cheryl, a year later. He received his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University in 2000 and his law degree from the University of Toronto in 2003. He has been a practicing corporate attorney in Boston ever since. He and Cheryl have four children and call a small town 35 miles south of Boston home. Evan served in the church as a stake institute teacher, high councilor, branch president, bishop, early-morning seminary teacher, and counselor in a stake presidency. He loves backcountry snow skiing and can still (sometimes) land a backflip behind a boat on a wakeboard. He is a first-time writer.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cheryl runs her own business purchasing, selling, and caring for competitive show horses. She grew up in Canada (near Toronto), and is a convert to the church, joining when she was a teenager. She received her undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University in 2000. She has served in the church as an early morning seminary teacher (twice), Young Women’s president, stake institute teacher, Primary teacher, Primary president, Sunday School Gospel Doctrine class teacher, and nursery leader. She loves Evan almost as much as she loves spending time with animals. ;-)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Crossroads shares the personal story of a bishop learning through his calling why he should try to be an LGBTQ ally and how that helped his teenage son finally feel comfortable opening up to him about being gay. Written by a lawyer, this navigable e-book uses numerous resources to examine church teachings about gay sexual orientation and explores a scripture-based path to a more hopeful doctrine.</image:caption>
