I wanted to learn more about the Mormon beliefs when a family moved onto my street. It is a complicated topic that was given a fair and enlightening treatment. I was happy to learn the historical background of the founder of this belief system. I was also glad to learn the way that many who hold this system of beliefs respond when they are presented with alternative views. It was also refreshing to have the author present the positive accomplishments of the the group that holds these beliefs.
I am thankful for the research and honesty. This is a truthful, helpful, and well prepared book.
Very insightful, well organized book!
