“From one of the brightest of the new generation of Mormon-studies scholars comes a crisp, engaging account of the religion’s history.”—The Wall Street Journal With Mormonism on the nation’s radar as never before, religious historian Matthew Bowman has written an essential book that pulls back the curtain on more than 180 years of Mormon history and doctrine. He recounts the church’s origins and explains how the Mormon vision has evolved—and with it the esteem in which Mormons have been held in the eyes of their countrymen. Admired on the one hand as hardworking paragons of family values, Mormons have also been derided as oddballs and persecuted as polygamists, heretics, and zealots. The place of Mormonism in public life continues to generate heated debate, yet the faith has never been more popular. One of the fastest-growing religions in the world, it retains an uneasy sense of its relationship with the main line of American culture. Mormons will surely play an even greater role in American civic life in the years ahead. The Mormon People comes as a vital addition to the corpus of American religious history—a frank and balanced demystification of a faith that remains a mystery for many. With a new afterword by the author. “Fascinating and fair-minded . . . a sweeping soup-to-nuts primer on Mormonism.”—The Boston Globe “A cogent, judicious, and important account of a faith that has been an important element in American history but remained surprisingly misunderstood.”—Michael Beschloss “A thorough, stimulating rendering of the Mormon past and present.”—Kirkus Reviews “[A] smart, lucid history.”—Tom Brokaw
The 2012 race for the White House is racing along at full tilt. Mitt Romney is widely assumed to be the front-runner for the Republican nominee. Question is, can he hold the lead? Ron Scott provides the first independent (unauthorized) biographical profile of the possible Republican nominee. Mitt Romney takes a frank and revealing look at what makes Mitt the man tic, more human than he often appears to be on the stump: his character, convictions, his words and actions, yes his flips and his flops too, and, his triumphs and setbacks.

It will put Mitt in context like no other book to date.

The Politics of American Religious Identity by Kathleen Flake Pdf
Between 1901 and 1907, a broad coalition of Protestant churches sought to expel newly elected Reed Smoot from the Senate, arguing that as an apostle in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Smoot was a lawbreaker and therefore unfit to be a lawmaker. The resulting Senate investigative hearing featured testimony on every peculiarity of Mormonism, especially its polygamous family structure. The Smoot hearing ultimately mediated a compromise between Progressive Era Protestantism and Mormonism and resolved the nation's long-standing "Mormon Problem." On a broader scale, Kathleen Flake shows how this landmark hearing provided the occasion for the country--through its elected representatives, the daily press, citizen petitions, and social reform activism--to reconsider the scope of religious free exercise in the new century. Flake contends that the Smoot hearing was the forge in which the Latter-day Saints, the Protestants, and the Senate hammered out a model for church-state relations, shaping for a new generation of non-Protestant and non-Christian Americans what it meant to be free and religious. In addition, she discusses the Latter-day Saints' use of narrative and collective memory to retain their religious identity even as they changed to meet the nation's demands.
An Amazon Best History Book of 2019 "A splendid and beautifully written illustration of the tremendous importance public policy has for the daily lives of ordinary people." —Ryan Cooper, Washington Monthly Over the last generation, the United States has undergone seismic changes. Stable institutions have given way to frictionless transactions, which are celebrated no matter what collateral damage they generate. The concentration of great wealth has coincided with the fraying of social ties and the rise of inequality. How did all this come about? In Transaction Man, Nicholas Lemann explains the United States’—and the world’s—great transformation by examining three remarkable individuals who epitomized and helped create their eras. Adolf Berle, Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s chief theorist of the economy, imagined a society dominated by large corporations, which a newly powerful federal government had forced to become benign and stable institutions, contributing to the public good by offering stable employment and generous pensions. By the 1970s, the corporations’ large stockholders grew restive under this regime, and their chief theoretician, Harvard Business School’s Michael Jensen, insisted that firms should maximize shareholder value, whatever the consequences. Today, Silicon Valley titans such as the LinkedIn cofounder and venture capitalist Reid Hoffman hope “networks” can reknit our social fabric. Lemann interweaves these fresh and vivid profiles with a history of the Morgan Stanley investment bank from the 1930s through the financial crisis of 2008, while also tracking the rise and fall of a working-class Chicago neighborhood and the family-run car dealerships at its heart. Incisive and sweeping, Transaction Man is the definitive account of the reengineering of America and the enormous impact it has had on us all.
According to author and radio personality Hewitt, Mitt Romney-billionaire venture capitalist, consummate family man, gifted and media-savvy politician-would be unstoppable in the coming presidential race were it not for one niggling line on his resumé: he's a Mormon. Hewitt attempts to refute the claim that no Mormon could get elected President (along with any other claim that might be made against Romney) while analyzing the former Massachusetts governor's biography and burnishing his conservative and leadership credentials. Hewitt is an agreeable writer, wise enough to take detours (such as an edifying primer on Mormon history and thought) that stave off tedium. He spends far more time extolling Romney than excoriating his Republican and Democratic opponents.
Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters? by Tricia Erickson Pdf
Part l: Mitt Romney is both a participant and victim of the Mormon Religion. Mormonism is a well-masked cult that enslaves the minds of those raised in it. Did you know that Mitt Romney truly believes when he leaves this earth he will become a literal “God”, equal to Jesus Christ, and be awarded his own planet to “Lord” over? Mitt will call his wife, Ann, onto his planet in order to have continuous celestial sex to populate it with spirit babies who will then pop down (be reborn) to earthy mothers in order to walk out their own eternal progression to Mormon Godhood? This is not a joke! How can we trust the judgment of someone who truly believes these things? And it’s important for you to know that Senator Romney MUST follow the false prophet of the Mormon Church first, above all else, and blindly obey him. In addition, Part 2 of this book reveals the astounding truth of Mitt Romney’s liberal political record and why his background is better suited to the Democrat Party. Romney will be a thorn in President Trump’s side for the duration of his Presidency. Mitt will do everything he can to destroy Trump from within while elevating himself at every turn...all the while planning another future run for the OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Evaluates how the Mormon faith has shaped the political beliefs of the former Massachusetts governor and prospective Republican presidential candidate, identifying the ways in which his faith may be used to discredit his fitness for the presidency.
Blood Oaths to the Secret Covenant by K. Jackson,Nathaniel Rigdon Pdf
Here is a modern, dramatic, re-telling of historical facts secretly related to the 2012 Presidential campaign. These facts uncover a sinister pattern of deception utilized by Mormon leaders since their religion's beginnings in America of the 1830's. This portrait, paints such a contradictory personal character to the one portrayed by the Romney campaign, that people will be shocked to find out just how deep Romney's roots are buried in the Mormon aristocracy. The controversy is placed on the notion that Mormon leaders have secretly planned a take-over of the United States government based on a prediction by their leader Joseph Smith in the 1840's, known as the White Horse Prophecy. Blood Oaths... explores the basis of this belief and traces the tactics of the Mormon Church leader's efforts to cover it up. Throughout the book, numerous articles and opinions which criticize the Mormon hierarchy are sited, including Park Romney, cousin to Mitt Romney. These sources have been scrutinized and re-confirmed by our organization, the Nathaniel Rigdon Society, for this research. Our group of concerned voters, joined together to research this project while observing the 2012 primary debates. At first, what started as cursory inquiries into Mitt Romney's statement "...I will not distance myself from my faith and the faith of my fathers," quickly turned into a discussion about the history of Mormonism's founders. One fact after another reconfirmed the notion stated by Park Romney that, "...Mormon Church leaders, knowingly and willfully misrepresent the historical truth of their origins and of the church, for the purpose of deceiving their members into a state of mind that renders them exploitable." Readers will be given insightful knowledge about some of the controversy surrounding Mormons most celebrated leaders, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young as well as a lesser known prophet who helped create the LDS traditions, Parley Pratt, fore-father to Mitt Romney. This is done thru highlighting various news articles, eyewitness testimony and books, both current and historical, to develop a modern-day character portrait of Willard Mitt Romney, who the book reveals, gets his name from a man in the room at the time of Joseph Smith's murder in a Carthage, Illinois jail. The audience of modern-day soap operas and dysfunctional family, reality shows, will find this drama-filled history, extremely captivating. An advance promotion quotes, "Destroying angels, secret rituals, massacres, blood oaths passed down through generations and a plot for one world theocracy...sounds like an historical-fictional Dan Brown novel. But what if it was all true and the 2012 election was the key to the fulfillment of a prophecy?" mittromneybloodoath.comhttp://mittromneybloodoath.com
Distant relatives whose ties extend back to the founding of the Mormon church, Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman Jr. became friends and political allies as governors. Before that, their fathers were chummy. Mitt's sister and Jon's mom were college roommates. So when Romney was preparing his first presidential run, he assumed he had Huntsman in his corner. He was wrong. Their split in 2006 created a bitter rivalry that led to a contentious 2012 presidential showdown.This book by Salt Lake Tribune reporters Matt Canham and Thomas Burr tells the story of these dynamic and dynastic families, who have found themselves driven together by chance, business, politics and piety. It starts with the rise of George Romney and Jon Huntsman Sr., men who escaped poverty to become wealthy and influential. Their sons responded to their powerful fathers in different ways, but they ultimately ended up in the same places -- vying to run the 2002 Winter Olympics, campaigning for governor and then for the White House. While both Romney and Huntsman have fallen short of the ultimate political prize, their successes on the national stage have become a turning point for the LDS Church, which yearns for broader acceptance from the American people.As their fathers expected much from them, Romney and Huntsman expect much for their children and that means we may not have seen the last clash between the Mormon version of the Hatfields and the McCoys.
