Under the Banner of Heaven : A Story of Violent Faith
3 journalers for this copy...
A well-written history of Mormonism, as well as recent unhappy history. Traces the split of the Latter-day Saints church into the LDS & the Fundamentalist LDS (multiple sects). Follows two FLDS members, brothers, who murder their sister-in-law and her 15 month old daughter, when God tells them to.
If you like Mr. Krakauer's writing (Into Thin Air, Into The Wild), and have any interest in what makes organized religion tick, you will appreciate this book.
It is being passed on to a friend (who I hope joins BC) then will be available.
