Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

I was doing some research on this subject for a class a few years ago and found several other books by an author I liked... One is American Massacre by Susan Denton, her other book is called Faith and Betrayal. Faith and Betrayal is based on her great aunt's diary and is the story of her immigration from England to New Orleans via sailing ship in the 1850s, then on to Salt Lake and later to California.

For anyone interested in reading about religious cults and why people join/stay in them, I recommend "Why Waco?" by James Tabor, a religion professor at University of North Carolina who was a consultant of sorts for the U.S. govt. during its ordeal in Waco. I read it in college and thought it was very interesting. Religion is a complex topic - one that people feel very passionately about. All religions are based on faith (often blind faith), and spirituality can hardly be called rational.
