About this listen
What happens when a prophet dies and forgets to leave a forwarding address?
After the Prophet Fell is a blistering, unapologetic, and darkly hilarious dive into the holy mess that followed the death of Joseph Smith—the founder of the Mormon Church, self-declared prophet, and the man who left behind a movement with no plan, no instructions, and way too many people claiming to be his successor.
Told with biting wit and backed by historical receipts, this book pulls back the sacramental curtain to expose the succession crisis that tore the Latter-day Saints apart. From Brigham Young’s corporate coup in the desert to James Strang’s pirate kingdom in Lake Michigan, from Sidney Rigdon’s sad slide into obscurity to Emma Smith’s righteous middle finger to the Utah crew—this is Restoration history like you've never read it before.
No whitewashed narratives. No faith-promoting fluff. Just prophets, pretenders, polygamists, and power grabs. If you’ve ever wanted to understand how a single bullet-riddled jailhouse turned a church into a theological free-for-all, this is the book you’ve been warned about.
Perfect for fans of religious history, cult studies, and irreverent nonfiction that pulls zero punches.
