Book Reviews of Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith

Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book to use as ammunition against any Mormons coming knocking on my door. You know the sort, salesmen in every way, pushy, fanatical, hard to get rid of in the extreme.

This book made me all the more anxious to get rid of them. The stories in this book will astound you. I should add, however, that every religion has a barrage of terrible stories of offences committed by its members... Christianity has more than any other faith, what with all the burnings and all.

The way in this book worries you is in that it hilights the current problem: extremists left to their own devices. Obviously we can't pass a law against extremists, but by God I wish we could. An excellent and thoroughly researched book, worth every penny.
