Not the whole "shebang," but a brief insight

From other comments I read, I wish to respond to them, while also addressing some of the same issues brought up from those comments, as well as other points I wish to address myself. 1.) Anybody who critiques another's way of believing/point of view will tend to become defensive. IT IS NOTHING PERSONAL! It is not directed at any individual. The critique is simply stating the facts that the overall Mormon church believes. If the Mormon church can't handle their faith being layed out for other to read, I personally think there is something wrong there; that, and it would almost go against their mission to "lead others to the truth." How can one lead another to believe their message if they stand in judgement and reject those different than they? 2.) There is nothing wrong to critique another's religion. As it says in the book, somone (can't remember who) who is held in high esteem by the Mormon church invited the faith to be examined. Why is it, then, that Mormons tend to try to negate the proof - which is valid and verifiable and even moreso from their religious texts and words spoken by their leaders - which disproves something that they have believed for so long. Just because one does not agree with the fact that the text contradicts itself, or that something was proven wrong by a source does not automatically make the source wrong. For example, I could believe with all my heart that the grass is blue. But those that believe the grass is green can have valid proof that it is green and show me, but that doesn't mean that proof is no good because I [still] don't believe the grass is green. (This book is NOT anit-Mormon as some say. Again: it is a critique, and I hope that others will stop taking it as a personal attack/taking it persoanlly against them or anything. It is simply a critique and comparison. There is NO anti-Mormonism sentiment in this book.) One must have an open mind and acceptance of what is proven, or disproven. Opinion of whether one thinks the source or the proving/disproving has nothing to do with the issue, nor does opinion validate as evidence/a good source. Opinions don't equate to proof. 3.) Anybody whose faith is being critiqued will become defensive...it's a natural reaction. However, if something is proven wrong, as much as we humans hate to admit it, the best thing is to just take that bite of humble pie and admit we were wrong, then move on with life, thus, striving to do what is right. Additionally, there is NO crime to compare two religions to show any differences and to prove they are not the same. For example, if people (for some reason,) thought that Mormonism and Islam were the same, one would have every right to write in a book that 1.) this is an overall view on the Islamic faith, 2.) based on this information, we can conclude that..., 3.) Islam is NOT the same as Mormonism because a...b...c... and based of these other prinicpals/ideas/etc. This is all this book does: state [very briefly, for there are books

This little gem is filled with gold!

I happened upon this little book and, after glancing through it, decided to purchase it. I was extremely impressed with the ability of the authors to provide a well-referenced facts about the cult using their own sources (i.e., the Book of moron, Doctrine & Covenants, moron Doctrine by cult member Bruce McConkie, etc., etc.) I have to laugh at the cult members who whine about this book spewing the same old tired nonsense - if they spent even a fraction of their time reading their own bogus "scriptures" written by their false "prophets," they would see just how vile their cult really is. Obviously, they're too brainwashed to recognize reality. Like a previous reviewer, I have to agree that the reference to FARMs is absurd - that's analogous to asking the KKK if they're a bunch of bigots. The authors provide succinct, but well-sourced, answers to many of the cult's claims (no, the cult is not a Christian religion); yes, they think they'll become gods of their own planets; yes, mormonism is based upon the occult practices of their false prophets; etc. Again, the authors used many of the cult's own "scriptures" and other drivel to demonstrate just how evil moronism is. This book should be very helpful to those who want to know the truth about the cult. Pick up a copy today, take out copies of some of false mormon "scriptures" (get free copies from the cult), and highlight all the references to the shocking facts discussed - could come in very helpful the next time a brainwashed bicycle rider knocks at your front door!

Informative, eye opening, straight talk --must read!

Did you think that the Mormon Church was just another Protestant Christian Evangelical denomination? This book will explain the difference in plain English. It is written in a question and answer formate. This small 44 page book lists several clear differences in the Mormon Church and the Bible. If you believe the Bible and are interested in spending an hour or so aquiring an understanding of this groups mis-claims as a Christian Religion then this little book is a must read!

Read all you can

Mormonism is no doubt one of the most successful religions on earth. As Joesph Smith boasted that he led the early mormons even better than Paul, Moses and Jesus (HC 6:408-412). I believe this to be quite true. Yet, even if you ask the mormon missionaries, members or bishops they don't know about the Adam-God theory, Different accounts of the First Vision, Endowment similarities with the Free Masonary or the completely pagan Book of Abraham, etc. These things you will not learn at BYU, missionary sessions, Sunday school, or seminary. Most LDS don't even know about these stuff. The best way to judge for yourself is to read mormon and anti-mormon books then judge for yourself if The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is as good as the name sounds or is just another religion.

A very good overview

Highly recommended. There is far, far more than can be said about Mormonism, but Ankerberg and Weldon do a laudable job of covering this subject in the limited space that their booklet provides. As with all of their writings, this book is well-researched and written with a spirit of compassion. There is much that one can learn from this brief text.Please check it out. Let us not assume that the young missionaries at your door can provide the information we need about Mormonism -- or that the most reliable source of information will be your friendly neighborhood Mormon. This book is definitely worth a look-see.
