He directed BYU's American Studies Program (1989–1994), directed the Center for the Study of Christian Values in Literature and edited the seminal A Believing People anthology, a landmark in Mormon letters. His devotion to the field is most famously summed up in his Association for Mormon Letters presidential address "Attuning the Authentic Mormon Voice: Stemming the Sophic Tide in LDS Literature" and his longrunning column "Book Nook" in BYU Magazine which demonstrated the breadth of Mormon literature to a wide audience.As a young man Cracroft served an LDS mission in the Swiss-Austrian mission.
