Some things I am really glad I learned other not so much. I don't know if I would recommend this to my LDS friends, I can see it helping some with their belief in Joseph Smith as a prophet but if you have holes in your testimony you'll find information here that may be troubling to you. It is an amazing story about an amazing man you founded a powerful world wide orginization. I think thats what struck me most as I read it, there were so many stumbling blocks and pitfalls in the early days of the church I am amazed that it survived and florished after learning so much about the early history.]]>
