As a young mother in her 20s she converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more commonly known as the Mormon Church. Having received what she perceived to be a witness through the power of the Holy Ghost (an experience referred to in the Mormon Church as a testimony) she became convinced she had found Gods true church. As a devout member Marcia devoted nearly all of her time, talents and efforts into studying its doctrines. She spent most of her years as a church teacher and participated regularly in rituals in the Mormon Temple.
In what were to become the latter years of her membership, she became mentally and physically ill due to spiritual persecution from church officials. As a result of her treatment by those who called themselves Gods representatives, Marcia began to wonder how someone could be made to suffer so much in a church that bore the name of Jesus Christ and boldly claimed to be the only true church on Earth.
While conducting her research into theorigins of the church and, in particular, its beginnings in early 19th Century America, she discovered that the seeds of contradiction and deception which one hundred and fifty years later, and a continent away, would bring her so much sorrow, were planted at the outset and that the evidence was to be found in its very own records.The Mormon Contradiction: In Their Own words is the book that she wished she could have had during her own exhaustive and emotional research.показать меньше
