The Maze of Mormonism

Any one who doesn't like this book is either ignorant or has something to hide themselves. Mormons pose as Christians and they are NOT. They pretend to be conservative happy family religion and they are NOT. This book is a God sent for those who want TRUTH. Walter Ralston Martin did his research and I am very thankful! An excellently thorough book! I bought 2 copies so I could use one as a loner! If you want the truth, buy this book and read it cover to cover!!!!

I found this to be the most informative book I have read on the doctrine of the Mormon Church, & I have read many. My favorite aspect of this book is that it was not a book of opinion. In research, I don't care what someone "thought" of a situation; I want to know the facts...period. That's what this book is. It cuts to the chase & bypasses opinion. Martin includes photocopies of many, many supportive documents...both from the LDS hierarchy & otherwise. Mormons are the only people I've found that dislike this book; maybe that's because it DOES threaten the foundation of their organization..

Walter well points out that Mormons do not believe in the Historic Jesus Christ that is written in the bible but, in a false prophet Joseph Smith. Christians everywhere would do well to read this book to know what Mormons truely do believe. I have read this book and I have visted the Mormon Ward and I have found this material to be accurate. Before you toss this book away, please consider this historical facts it contains and do research.

This is an exceelent book. When you see reviews of both extremes, you know you have a good book. Ignore the rabid rant reviews from LDS. Having been a Mormon myself, I can give you my testimony that this book is a well written, very scholarly book. The section on the Book of Abraham alone is worth the price of the book. Smith claims he translated a book striking similar to Genesis (complete with King James English)from an Egyptian hieroglyph found in a mummies case. This hieroglyph, thought to be destroyed in the Chicago fire, resurfaced in 1968 (a story in Ensign magazine ran the article). Martin's book gives the REAL translation of this hieroglph...portions of the Egyptian Book of the Dead! This book is not about hate or making money, it's about common sense (such as why would Israelites write in Egytian???)While we are on the subject of money, the Mormon Church is a coporate empire with wealth equal to a fortune 500 company. Martin lists many of the assets of the Mormon Church (at least what they owned in 1978, which no doubt by now their assets are much larger). Controling interest in Utah Power and Light, The L.A. Times, Roy Rogers Hambugers, to name just a few. 9 million memembers, tithing 10%+, do the math.The book also shows how Mormonism is so out of align with traditional Christian theology that it can not be called orthodox Christianity. The Trinity, the Virgin Birth, salvation by grace, etc., are all heresies to Mormonism. Martin compares the Bible to Smith and Youngs "revelations", with startling results. When you get this book, you won't believe how your LDS friends will tap dance around the truth and come up with the most ridiculous sounding excuses. Read them the part where Smith predicted everyone alive in 1830 would live to see Christ. Their explanation makes the new math seem easy. Get a copy of this book! Hopefully the publisher will put it back in print again. Used copies are pricy, but worth it!

This book is incredible! Very accurate and well researched. Would recommend this to anyone seeking information on Mormonism.
