Perhaps more than ever before, the nation is taking note of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The media certainly have. Mitt Romney’s presidential candidacy has people asking questions and researching the Mormon faith.

Not to mention the attention the LDS faith garnered from major news magazine cover stories, CNN’s Kansas City Temple tour and national interviews focusing on heaven and basketball wonder boy Jabari Parker.
