Reviews

[Russel · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is informative and helps clear up some of the myths about the Mormon faith. While not all questions are answered, it gives a pretty decent introduction to the primary beliefs of the religion. Millet does a pretty good job of comparing and contrasting traditional Christianity with Mormonism without coming across condescending to those outside the LDS faith.

A very informative read on the Mormon Faith. The author is LDS, and yet presents a fairly clinical look at the faith. His book is well organized and explained sufficiently that "the rest of us," can understand.

I would recommend this book to any student of religions. There are a lot of myths about the Mormon faith in particular and this will clear the fog.

Written by a professor at Brigham Young University with the intent "not to convert but to aid in understanding." I found this book extremely helpful in explaining the beliefs of the LDS faith--and addressing the hearsay spread by so many other denominations.
