I’m notorious for not knowing what books are about before I start them.
The last book I read by this author was about his trip up Mount Everest. The cover I saw of this book had some rocks on it so I thought it might be about one of his other escapades.
Turns out it’s about the history of the Mormon church (as viewed by an outsider). It’s an interesting overview of the history. I quite enjoyed it. It went through the good the bad and the ugly and it’s amazing to me how many people can still cling to beliefs of such a young religion.
I have a few friends that I will be interested to hear their thoughts. (You know who you are!)
