For the record, I, Eric Johnson, have distanced myself from Adam’s Road Ministry by having the foreword of my book Introducing Christianity to Mormons (Harvest House, 2022) replaced. The original foreword was written by Micah Wilder and was replaced with a new foreword from J. Warner Wallace. The new edition is now available for sale.
Upon learning of the sexual immorality that took place during the narrative of Micah Wilder’s book Passport to Heaven, the publisher (Harvest House) immediately stopped selling the book and destroyed all of its remaining copies. Once the online retailers sell all of the copies they had purchased, the book should only be available in used form on second-hand markets.

I do not condone the sexually deviant behavior of certain members of Adam’s Road, specifically Micah and Alicia Wilder, Joseph Warren, and Lila LeBaron as well as the group’s bus driver, Max (aka Erik) Blanchard. It appears Joseph Warren has repented. I call upon the other members to fully repent by removing themselves from their continuing immoral activities. Please note, Matt Wilder and family, Michael and Lynn Wilder, and Katie Warren—all associated with Adam’s Road—were not involved in any immoral activity and should be considered victims.
