Furthermore, do we believe that everything a prophet has ever said, in thier whole life, is doctrine? Of course we don't. Have you read any of Ezra Taft Benson's early books, some of them are scary, scary, right wing lunacy. He also told me that I wasn't the first to tell him that and that he had stopped recommending this book to people.Īs far as the argument that a prophet (or a soon to be prophet) wrote the book, and therefore the book is doctrine I say phooey. I told my Stake President about this and he immediately told me that he felt that I should read the Book of Mormon instead. In my case, I almost lost my soul to the utter hopelessness that this book made me feel. It can also be a dangerous weapon in the hands of a zealot. I don't think that this book does good things for certain kinds of people. Please don't take this review as blasphemy or a sign of slipping faith.
