A “well-written and very accurate overview of the LDS Church . . . one of the best overall views of the LDS faith out there.” --Deseret Morning News
“What keeps you turning the pages is the amazing honesty and fair-mindedness of the book. Every prospective missionary ought to read this book. I loved this book, and highly recommend it.” --Jeffrey Needle, Association of Mormon Letters
“Well-established Mormons should read this book. Those of the faith may find it a bit enlightening to see their religion explained without proselytizing. Its dose of self-deprecating humor certainly helps.” --Joan Nay, Sam Weller’s Zion Bookstore
“In a very respectful and Mormon-friendly tone, it tackles just about every thorny subject regarding the faith, providing brief incursions in all sides . . . of each controversial point.” --Marcello J. Oliveira, Amazon.com
“The book far exceeded my expectations. It covers LDS theology and history in more depth, more breadth, and more candor than I’ve ever seen in a summary book on Mormonism. The authors handled sensitive topics, such as temple ordinances, with respect while still providing good coverage.” –“iarwain_bombadil,” Amazon.com
