A Book of Mormons: Latter-day Saints on a Modern-Day Zion (I SPEAK FOR MYSELF, 7)

Short essays on the communitarian concept of Zion in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) from a liberal world view. Meh. One specific criticism: too many stereotypic generalizations of main-stream Mormons as non-thinking Others.

Well done anthology of Mormons musing upon their personal experiences in the faith. Honest and interestingly varied, the writing is clear and concise and is a credit to the faith.

Wonderful book filled with a variety of insightful and well-written essays.

This book has a lot of essays from people I respect and admire. A great read!

Features a collection of brief essays from a number of folks that pertains to Zion. Originally Zion was going to be a city but when the believers of the faith aspired to build the city the locals ran them out of the area perhaps due to the belief of Big Love /Sister Wives, perhaps the fear of loss of their wives to these newcomers.They moved West out of the United States to unincorporated Utah to indulge in free love and if need be: Frontier Justice! eventually Zion has become a state of mind of which to aspire to live a person's life by. Writers include Asian background and Latino. Each is profiled and their position explained. Many have written elsewhere. Insightful.
