    • 5/5
      Great 30,000 foot perspective of the Book of Mormon and its teachings
    • 1/5
      The author has left the church and this is very important and revealing
      The authors words stating that this is not a anti Mormon book) The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) Is obviously disingenuous and meant to lull readers into listening without questioning the false, distorted and twisted teachings. As a convert to this church as an adult, it was the best decision of my life and I found these teachings to be true from LDS members , missionaries and the good people of the church,. Not an individual who left the church but can’t seem to leave the church alone.
