After reading this book, I read "By His Own Hand, On Papyrus" and then I read The Mark Hoffman Interviews. Finally, I read "Mormonism: Shadow or Reality" My object was to be able to refute apostates. My outcome was to request that my name be removed from the rolls of the Church. My wife wanted to remain in the Church, but after just two hours with this book, reading what I had highlighted, she heartily agreed to have her name also removed from the Church. Members of the LDS Curch are among the finest people on the earth, but they are trained well to shun the actual history of the Church. Those who investigate are automatically called "apostates." Mormonism is popular, and will remain so, until the Internet sites (ie: Recovery from Mormonism) shed too much light on its founder and his subsequent accomplices.If you cherish your membership, do not read this book. It may change your life.
