I've used this book - and it WORKS!!!
I've used this book in several real-life witnessing encounters - and it WORKS!!!The mormons I were talking with were shocked, and I had a good oppurtunity to witness for the mormons.Klaus Dahl DENMARK, Scandinavia

The choice is yours, so save some money.
If you do let the missionaries in and listen, you'll learn about "free agency", i.e. the option to think and decide for yourself. Buying this book is the first step to giving up that priviledge.

A dam of free thought
It's a sad commentary on society when people make money off a book that is degrading, prejudicial and judgemental about what people believe in. Wasn't the United States founded on religious tolerance? It seems to me that commercialism and industry has destroyed God and freedom from bigotry. If you shut your mind off fr...

Would you like to know more?
Let me add a piece of advice to the ideas proposed in this book. When you hear the words, "Would you like to know more?" just say "No thank you, and close the door. Closing the door is VERY important. When I lived in Salt Lake City, I had to learn to do that, because some people wouldn't take no for an answer. One furi...

Fascinating
Actually, Taco Bell DOES sell ChocoTacos - I just had one myself! As a Mormon, I have to say that I found this book mildly amusing. The "carefully hidden secrets" about the founders of the church have never been hidden from me. There is nothing in Mormonism that is "covered up" - everyone is free, and encouraged, to le...

Easier way to handle the Mormons at the door.
I have an even easier way to handle the Mormons at the door, and I'll give it to you for FREE. When they come to your door, say "Thank you, but I'm not interested" and then close the door. Save yourself 6 bucks and let people believe what they want. I do this every time some person comes peddling to my door. Be it a sa...

How sad
I find it extremely funny that the LDS Church doesn't publish books about how to refute the mainstream Christian churches, yet the mainstream Christian churches find it necessary to continually attack us. That's part of what made it clear to me who truly followed Christ, and who doesn't in this case. Christ didn't atta...

This is a must have CD.

Something special
This is a great album including pop and some rock elements, combined with a sweet recognizable voice. Each song has its special thing and the duets harmonize in every way.

A previous reviewer said that as a teacher he's found that students never fail to enjoy William Golding's THE INHERITORS.

Whatever you do, don't buy this book
Unfortunately, I have been forced to read this novel for my English class. It is extremely difficult due to the fact that the main characters haven't mastered a little thing we like to call language yet. Because Golding refuses to help the reader along with proper narration, the outcome is nothing short of a migrane. J...

Great if you like confusion....
This book frustrated me to no end. While I can respect the endeavor to write a book from the perspective of prehistoric man, it just didn't follow through.

Not as good as I hoped!
I don't think Golding quite got the hang of the early humans he was using as his subjects! There is far more to them and far more interesting and exciting things about them that simply were missing in his story. Not a bad read, but did not come up to my expectations!
