Yes I have, I have to say that book changed my life. The title can be decieveing.. just a little, because I felt the book was more about spirituality.. I'm not a big reader, and that book was like 300 pages.. it really is a book you cant stop reading, but sometimes you have to put it down cause its pretty deep.. and you need to just stop and obsorb the information. Its a really good, and you dont have to read the 1st book to get the others, I started w/ #4 I think..and it made me look at life very differently.

I've got the book, and haven't got round to reading it yet. I know what its about roughly though, didn't know pedophilia was a large plot point, but i knew sex was there a lot.\n\nSame can be said for the Anne Rice (Anne Roquelare) books, some call them smut, some call them art.\n\nGonna go read it now :)

Sure has been looking that way for a while--they have been slowly moving us in that direction as they unwittingly serve Satan's purposes.  It was all prophesied centuries ago.  Read Ezekiel, Isiah, and Revelation.  Good news is the bad guys lose in the end.  I read the back of the Book and we win.

Have you perhaps read the book "MOOM"? I would like to find this book again.It was a cheap paperback horror novel about a retarded man who, if he managed to escape his elderly mother's basement, ran wild towards the full moon, screaming "MOOM, MOOM" and tearing to pieces anything or anyone on his path, creating mayhem and terror in the town. I beg of you to read this book.

Yes, I have read it.  Actually, my mom knew the women in it before the Lafferty brothers killed here.  The deal with this book is that it is definetely written by an individual who is not a fan of Mormonism and his bias is obvious.\nThat being said the actual factual information about the Lafferty's and the FLDS group is really very good and the book does a good job of laying these problems out.  Krakeur is also correct in pointing out that these at least partially results from a larger problem in Mormonism.  Mormonism is like Islam in that can breed extremism if not careful.  Hopefully Mormons will be more successful in dealing with these issues than muslims.\nOverall, I thought the book was an excellent historical work on some touchy issues that are not discusses as much as they should but I wish it would have been a little more objective.

I've read quite a bit of it, and the more I read the more I realize how utterly bogus it is when taken literally.\n\nOh, and I think "jackiedj8952" ment to say you needed to have your ears poisoned and be brainwashed by a preacher or someone. That's what she ment by "spiritual ears". \n\nShe's right in a way, you first need someone to tell you that this book is perfect in everyway and if you don't believe in it you will go to hell, because without that it'll just be another book of fantasy and make believe.\n\nI encourage christians to be honest with themselves and go here to give your ex-christian testimony:\n\nhttp://exchristian.net/

I have read and would strongly recommend reading, many of the Apocryphal books. There are too many to list, but the below links take you to websites full of them.\n\nhttp://earlyjewishwritings.com/\n\nhttp://earlychristianwritings.com/\n\nCheck out the links; let me know what you think.

I have read this book a couple of times and am looking forward to the movie.\n\nI think it is a great piece of fiction.  Sure, there are some truths in it, but for the most part it is pure fiction.  I have been to many of the sites that he pointed to in the book and some just aren't the way he stated.\n\nI think that it makes baseless claims about Jesus being married and having a child, and a few other things, but that is his perogotive as a writer of fiction.\n\nI am Catholic and am not in a hissy or upset or mad that the book was written, but I am upset and mad when people use it as a basis to trash my Catholic faith.  It is FICTION!  He says so himself!  But regardless of being true or not, I look at it this way, if Jesus was married and had a child, what better roll model for me, as a Catholic father to have?

I would read "Angels and Demons" first only because there are a couple of minor references to it in "The DaVinci Code" (which you would overlook if you read DC first).  Reading A&D will in no way give away the DC.  It's true that they are written in the same formula.  Both are about religious matters which begin with a murder followed by intense mystery and astounding conclusions, but the actual plots are different.

I'm still trying to pull up mystical ball to check it out, but here is a site explaining how it works.  I haven't read it yet, because I don't want to spoil the fun;)

I read it and found the writing style difficult to get through. I was also outraged by the double standard.  Even if she had named her lover, she would still have had a harsher punishment than the man. I thought it was an interesting insight into the way people thought and believed in that time, and a warning for modern times not to think in such a backward way.\n\nI thought it was spooky the way her lover ended up with a Scarlet Letter embedded in his flesh, hidden away under his clothes. Was it his own guilt that caused it to appear? Was it some trick or poison the doctor gave him? Was it God's punishment?  The book doesn't make that clear, making the reader decide for him- or herself.

yes, i have the audio cd. not the book. it is a very descriptive detail of hell.  it would be horrible that anyone goes there if it like he described, but also it could even be worse than that he described.
