Summary: A true view
Comment: This book truly describes a woman's perspective of the Mormon church and it's misleading teachings. Mrs. Robertson describes
The Temple ceremony in great detail, which most Mormon's fear to even discuss with close family members. It made me feel sick to my stomach to read what goes on in these secret ceremonies, because I was starting to accept Mormonism as a Christian religion, instead of the cult it TRULY is. I live in a huge Mormon community, and I see how unhappy most of my mormon woman friends are, now I know why. This book was extremely helpful to me.
Several of my friends who have left the church, and felt the persecution of this action have found this book an inspiration.

Summary: A judgmental perspective - but I was still intrigued
Comment: I am a non-Mormon who has become curious about the religion from, like many others, having Mormon friends with a very appealing family lifestyle. Mormons will tell you all the good things about their religion, but I wanted another perspective. Yes, this book is biased; of course it is, the author left the church with quite a bit of hostility. Does that make the detailed descriptions of the Temple ceremonies untrue? No - and it is certainly an eye-opener to read about them. This book is an easy read that keeps you turning pages (I read it in an evening), but be warned, almost half of the book is about the author's new Christian beliefs and how she witnesses to the Mormons today. I don't care to make judgements about any religion, and that is done in much of the (to call it what it is) anti-Mormon literature. So don't let this be your only teaching tool about the religion; do what I did - read this easy-to-understand book and also talk to a Mormon to let them give you their perspective. Bottom line: curious about the "insider's" perspective about Mormonism and what goes on in the Temples but able to keep a neutral attitude? Read this book.

Summary: Not what I was looking for
Comment: This book was not what I expected. I bought it because my sister is converting to Mormonism, much to the shock and displeasure of my family, and I wanted to learn more about the LDS Church, especially from someone who decided to leave it. I wanted a fair, factual, intelligent, balanced picture of Mormonism. I did not want something written with a harsh, narrow-minded "fundamentalist Christian" slant, like The God Makers. Well, that's what this book is. Near the end of the book, you will find out that the author and her husband were interviewed for The God Makers documentary, which, if you don't know, is an extremist, inflamatory, biased, unbalanced look at the Mormon church. This book does not provide a fair and balanced look at Mormonism, so if that's what you're looking for do not buy this book.
