An accurate description of the Mormon cult

One of the more definitive descriptions of the history and origins of the Mormon cult is offered in this book, including some of the more unfortunate mistakes that the authors of the Book of Mormon made when they pieced together their addendum to the Bible.One of the aspects about the Mormon cult that I felt could have been addressed in more detail is the fact that the BoM claims that elephants lived in North America at the time the cult's creators, Josephn Smith and the anonymous individuals who helped him, claimed Jesus Christ lived in North America. They're wrong. Mammoths lived in North America, but elephants did not. The creators of the cult just didn't know that the two animals are different species. That fact alone proves that the book isn't inspired by God, Jesus, a Holy Ghost, or a "heavenly father" of any kind.Another aspect of the Book of Mormon which I felt this book could have discussed in greater detail is the mistaken notion that steel existed at the time the authors of the BoM claimed it did. While there is no archeological or anthropological evidence for such a notion, the manufacture of steel requires a temprature that just wasn't possible at the time the authors of the BoM claim in their book.The whole cult is predicated around a book that is stuffed full of ignorant notions that are in any event honest; the authors just didn't know. And I thought this book should cover these failing in greater detail.

Some Disturbing Findings Behind that Mask

A thoroughly researched and well-documented expose of Mormonism. The authors show how this cult erroneously hides behind the respectibility of Christianity while pushing eldritch beliefs.

Great comparison of Mormonism vs. Christianity

A very well researched work exposing the deceit of one of the largest cults existing today. A large bibliography of both pro- and anti-Mormon books, cassettes and pamphlets provides plenty of references for anyone who wants to 'see for himself' the doctrines of Mormonism. Recommended for both Mormons (who generally have a very poor knowledge of their cult's history and doctrine) and non-Mormons.

Comprehensive view of a major cult

A comprehensive review of one of america's oldest secretive and powerful religious organizations. This book will offend the LDS "true believers" but the accounts are accurate and well researched

Good review of Mormonism, raises many important concerns.

This book brings many deceptions and Mormon doctrine into the light. Think for yourself, read the book. "The church and the kingdom of God has no fear of the truth." E.T.Benson
