Ten More Amazing Discoveries

Renowned Book of Mormon explorer George Potter continues to wander the sands of the Middle East because, in his words, "I must." The latest result, Ten More Amazing Discoveries, makes us grateful that he does. Drawing upon years of research, study, and travel, he offers geographical support for Joseph Smith's assertion that the ancient Garden of Eden was located in the New World, not in the Old World. He offers a new, exciting theory on the landing site of Noah's Ark. He shows how Bible scholarship supports the authorship of the Book of Mormon. And he takes us in search of the "real" Mount Sinai and the trail of the Exodus. "Are these amazing discoveries?" asks the author. "To me they are pearls of truth that bring to life the sacred scriptures and confirm our faith." In Ten More Amazing Discoveries, George Potter takes us on a journey that, in the end, strengthens our testimonies with new insights into the Bible, the authenticity of the Book of Mormon, and the dealings of God with his children, both ancient and modern.

George Potter's interest in archaeology began as a LDS missionary in Peru and Bolivia. After a year at BYU and his mission, George returned to his home state of California and put aside his amateur archaeology interest. He graduated with high honors from the University of California at San Diego, and two years later received a master's degree from the University of California at Berkeley. On leaving the university he became a certified public accountant and joined one of the so-called Big Five CPA firms. Later he entered management and consulting, two professions which have taken him to over forty countries, including a five-year stay in Zurich, Switzerland. For the last ten years he has owned and operated Bear River Training and Consultancy, a training, e-learning, and financial services company located in Saudi Arabia. As has lectured at universities in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia.

George is married to Susan Jenson Potter. Together they have ten children.
