Recommended Audio Book

This edition of Jon Krakauer's book, Under the Banner of Heaven (abridged), begins with the telling of the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping story.  From this starting point, Krakauer branches out to an investigation of how this happened, and why the brainwashing of this girl into agreement could happen due to what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), founded by Joseph Smith, teaches.

You will hear about the Mormon Church of the past and the present.  You will learn about the difference between the fundamentalist Mormons and Mormons of today.  

I found listening  to this book riveting and informative.  I recommend this audio book for the telling of Elizabeth Smart's story as well as for the content of information about this Church that calls itself Christian but does not believe in the Holy Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Kudos to Jon Krakauer for his effort and hard work in the writing and telling Under the Banner of Heaven: A Violent Faith.
