Patrick Sedivy came from a Catholic background, but had questions his faith could not answer. After being introduced to the Book of Mormon, he decided to read it in an effort to prove it wrong. Over time though, reading the Book of Mormon deepened his understanding of the Bible and helped him answer the questions he previously struggled with.
