Product Description
A Mormon Odyssey takes the reader into the heart and soul of a Mormon couple who discover that the religion of their heritage is laced with a web of lies, deceit, and cover-up. They began their journeys separately, each motivated by a desire to learn the unvarnished truth about the religion they had come to embrace. As they followed the trail of Mormonism from before its inception they discovered a history at odds with itself, where truth was illusive and nothing was what it seemed. Join their heart-wrenching journey through Mormonism and beyond. Based upon the personal experiences of the author and her husband followed by an in-depth research into the original documentation of the religion, they learn things about the Mormon Church and themselves that they never dreamed. Their integrity is tested, their minds are challenged, and their hearts are broken. It took awesome courage and commitment to take such a journey but in the end they have triumphed, discovering that spirituality lives in the heart of the individual not in religious doctrine. A Mormon Odyssey is so touching, so informative, and so thoroughly documented that it may well change the reader's life.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: A Mormon Odyssey: Journey to the Center of My Soul (Hardcover) This book is a well written acount about a young couple whose child is killed in a freak accident and how they dedicate their lives to a church that offers (sells) them HOPE through Mormonism's claimed monopoly on priesthood authority to perform eternal marriages and also the church's "Only Mormon families can be together forever" doctrine. After many years of dedicating large amounts of time and money to this church, the Braithwaites begin to see evidence of deception on a massive scale. Their struggle to overcome powerful indoctrination is heroic. Finally, they become disillusioned and leave Mormonism only to experience ostracism from family and friends who have been taught that this is the way God wants them to treat "apostates." I highly recommend this book to all Mormons and also to all Christians who are considering Mormonism. This book can change a person's life and protect a person from spiritual slavery. It is well worth the price.
