Customer Reviews

Surprisingly Enlightening

I have read several books on Mormonism and was a little put off by the author's folksy style at first, but once I got into the meat of the book I found it to be very informative and seemed to be well researched and documented. Very interesting subject. Well worth reading.

The Truth from one who lived it

This is a great book, shining the light of truth on the darkness of Joseph Smith's deceitful prophesy.

Finding the truth

I was struggeling to find a place and a church of my own when I started investigating the Mormon Chruch. This book really helped because like myself the author loved and cared about the mormons in her life, as do I. She doesnt bash the LDS church but informs anyone who reads this as to the beliefs and teachings of the church that even most of there own members are never told about. I learned that the God and Jesus of the mormon church is not the God and Jesus that have saved me from my sinfulness. This book is very informative and if you are learning about the LDS church I encourage you to read it because it will tell you things that mormon members will not, wether they know the teachings or not.

A Loving and Thoughtful Expose on Mormonism

is what this book is all about. A former Mormon, Thelma Geer obviously loves the Mormon people and only wants to share her love of Christianity with them. She points out to them many of the unspoken and "swept under the carpet" doctrines of the early church that seem way out of synch with what Mormonism is today. And yet these policies are written doctrines! I hope that many Mormons will read this with an open mind, and discover for themselves the truth about the church. This book is informative, well documented and written in a very non-accusatory way.

A MUST FOR ANY LIBRARY!

This literature is one of the most powerful ministering tools to put in the hands of those who are in bondage of Mormonism or who are considering investigating it! Thelma has offered an original 1830 1st edition copy of the Book Of Mormon to anyone who can disprove the information in her book "Mormonism, Mama, and Me". So far no takers. Her writing style is soft and not abrasive. She comes from a loving and caring perspective and feels that the information she covers in this book is important enough to stand up and speak in truth about the foundation of the Mormon religion. The Mormon doctrine is ever changing and the writings are continually edited and revised as to be faith promoting to its members. Many Mormon members have little knowledge of the actual facts concearning the foundation of their own religion. Thelma provides a good starting place for the reader. She includes a wonderful bibliography and some photo copies of some of the original writings from leaders of the church in the appendix. Great book to include in any library, gives a good overveiw of the complexity, difficulty, and deception of Mormonism.
