DW West: Excellent book because it is the true story of Micah Wilder. I know him personally and he is everything he claims to be in his book. The book is so fascinating that I could hardly put it down. My husband read it all in one day; he said the story was so riveting that he couldn't stop reading it.

NPE Alicia: This book doesn’t bash the LDS church or religion. It shares a personal testimony that is powerful and shows love for the LDS people. Jesus desires none to perish!

Don B: This is a deeply personal narrative of a young LDS missionary whose life is completely transformed as a result of his own spiritual search. Micah’s interaction with his fellow missionaries, and the challenges he faces through his transformation, are told in a moving and challenging narrative.
A reader will feel like he/she has gotten to know Micah Wilder through his autobiography— and will be challenged spiritually as well.

Amanda: I really enjoyed this story and how Micah got saved out of Mormonism. From reading the book I now listen to his band's music and follow them on Instagram.

Tony Brown: This is a superb book that I cannot recommend highly enough. Micah's moving story from a religious zealot to a loving Christ follower needs to be read. The way he weaves his story, looking back and then sharing what happened, is masterful. Micah clearly shows that there is hope for all those who have been told the lie that God accepts them only on the basis of their own righteousness. As he discovered - Jesus is Enough!
Excellent read.

Marianne: Passport to Heaven is deceptively simple to read. Micah Wilder's sensitivity, simplicity and transparency have shined a light on the gospel of Jesus Christ brighter than anything I’ve read before in my many years as a Christian.

P. Nurnberg: Full disclosure, I pre-ordered Passport to Heaven after seeing Micah post about it on Facebook. I ended up gifting that copy to a friend, because Micah sent me a review copy after my co-hosts and I had him on our podcast. When we launched our program two years ago, Micah graciously allowed us to use Adam’s Road music as our outro bumper. They give away all of their music for free!
I just finished reading Passport to Heaven by Micah Wilder and would recommend it to any Christian who wants to understand the life of a Mormon missionary. While every young man and woman wearing those little black name badges is a unique creation of God, they are each taught and trained in the tactics of Mormon missionaries and—for the duration of their missions—live within a regimented and carefully curated experience. As a result, they will think in similar ways. This book will help Christians to understand the needs of the missionaries who knock on their door or who stop them on a busy street corner to a chat about religion. It will give Christians a heart for reaching those zealous young people.
But this book will also be helpful to Latter-day Saints. I’m a former Latter-day...

CarolineCaroline: This book broke me.
What a flurry of emotions. I want to weep, I want to laugh, I want to whoop in joy, I want to bury my head in grief for thousands more who are still lost. Not only does Micah showcase the transforming power of the true Gospel as revealed in the Bible, but he also expresses such a depth of love and gentleness that is characteristic of Jesus himself and highlights its importance above all else.
To the Latter-Day Saint coming to this wondering how this man lost his testimony and just how apostate he really is, your passion and fervour for what you believe is inspiring. What Micah will offer you is the perspective of someone who was in your position, on fire and so convinced that his knowledge and news could transform the world for the better, but who through genuine seeking of truth and an open heart had his whole worldview changed and became truly fulfilled because of it. Read it seeking to know the God whom you love. You will be astonished.
Even though I am not a Latter-Day Saint myself, I am a Christian who has had struggles grasping the concept of grace. But the way that Micah lays it all out, coming from someone who uses it to combat the...

Eric Draht: Absolutely engaging. From moment to moment, I couldn’t put this book down. Well written, and I learned more about the Mormon faith than I ever could’ve imagined. Absolutely worth a read.

Nirak: I have had friends and neighbors that are Mormon and I wanted to read this book to understand more about what Mormons believe and how Micah’s belief was changed to become a true follower of Jesus. I got much more than that. Micah’s detail about what he read in the Bible and how it impacted him was great in explaining Bible passages in ways I hadn’t gleaned before. I could hardly put the book down as I wanted to find out what happened next. Highly recommend this book.
