Who was the first Mormon to run for US President? It was in 1843. "What's A Mormon?" describes why he did so, and what became of that first campaign.
Could Mormon's ancient Israelite ancestors, desert dwellers, really have sailed across oceans to America in 600 BC? The answer might just shock you.
What heinous atrocity occurred in Utah on 9-11...in 1857? Was Brigham Young responsiible?
Why did Brigham Young object to polygamy initially? ...and yet have 50 wives at the time of his death? The answer might surprise you.
Polygamy is one of the few things most people associate with Mormons. Why did it become part of their fabric? Why was it originally only practiced by one man...the founder? Is this why he formed his own religion? ...because of divine visions, or the earthly desires of a 20-something man?
These and many other fascinating stories await your curiosity in "What's A Mormon?"
With a fresh perspective and sense of humor, Christian historian, Jim La Haye, takes you behind the curtain of the secretive Mormon faith.
"Why are Mormons so guarded about their history? Perhaps they don't want you to know all of their dark secrets. I wanted to know, so I dug deep. What I found surprised even me. Let me share these many mysteries of Mormon...dark secrets that they've kept from outrsiders like you and me."
Mormon is not one of those "turn the other cheek" religions. Mormon history is riddled with violence...often directed at the Mormons, sometimes dished out by them.
Regardless of whether you believe Mormon to be a Christian sect or a cult, they had an impact on the growth of a young United States. Mormon was born on the western edge of the American frontier in the 1820's. Why was this environment so critical to the birth and evolution of this home grown religion? Which states chased out the Mormons...and why?
Most history books focus on people, dates and events. "What's A Mormon?" is different. First, it's an entertaining and quick read...about 180 pages and 46,000 words. Second, your author & guide, Jim La Haye, explains the "WHY's" behind Mormon...why did its founder do what he did? ...why did Mormons pick Utah? ...why did the US President send the Army after them in 1857? ...why does Mormon follow more Jewish traditions than Christian ones?
"What's A Mormon?" offers you answers to every question you've ever had about this mysterious American religion. Some will surprise you, others may shock you. Either way, you will enjoy this scintillating book."
