Mormons Believe . . . What?!: Fact and Fiction About a Rising Religion
With two Mormons running for the Republican presidential nomination and a popular Broadway musical drawing extra attention to a fast-growing religion, America is having what Newsweek calls a "Mormon moment."
This Mormon moment, as might be expected, has accelerated the buzz of rumors and claims about this increasingly visible religion.
In his new book, "Mormons Believe ... What?! Fact and Fiction About a Rising Religion," pollster Gary Lawrence answers 24 of these criticisms and does it with a sense of humor.
"I wrote the book," Dr. Lawrence explains, "for the curious person who has heard various claims about Mormonism and wants to know 'just enough' about it to be an adequately informed citizen. I wanted to make it comfortable enough so that someone unacquainted with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could learn about Mormons without feeling preached to."
At turns properly serious, candidly informative, and unexpectedly entertaining, the book also includes results from a national public opinion poll about Mormons, politics, their image, and the extent to which their fellow Americans share or do not share their beliefs.
Mormons Believe ... What?! is a timely and entertaining guidebook about who Mormons are and the reasoning behind their beliefs. It's a clear and stimulating read.
