Fascinating essays on just a few of the dozens of churches which have arisen out of the Latter Day Saint movement.
An excellent introduction to the history of LDS schismatic groups.
The essay about the modern-day practice of polygamy, written by a woman who is a practicing polygamist (and a historian), was AWESOME, and that is why I am giving this book five stars. I really enjoyed reading about that and all of the other sects that have as their foundation a belief in Joseph Smith as a prophet and the Book of Mormon as the word of God.
I love the stories and backgrounds of all the many spin-offs of the LDS religion and this book provided a good breakdown and was very informative.
I may have to purchase it and use it for future reference.
