About this listen
Fanny Stenhouse married her husband, T. B. H. Stenhouse, in England and arrived in Utah in 1857. Stenhouse was a missionary and elder of the Mormon Church and a polygamist. Fanny's book was a sensational expose of Mormonism and a criticism of the institution of multiple marriage.

Founder of the largest indigenous Christian church in American history, Joseph Smith published the 584-page Book of Mormon when he was 23 and went on to organize a church, found cities, and attract thousands of followers before his violent death at age 38. Richard Bushman, an esteemed cultural historian and a practicing Mormon, moves beyond the popular stereotype of Smith as a colorful fraud to explore his personality, his relationships with others, and how he received revelations.

Defying both civil authorities and the Mormon establishment in Salt Lake City, the renegade leaders of these Taliban-like theocracies are zealots who answer only to God; some 40,000 people still practice polygamy in these communities. At the core of Krakauer’s book are brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who insist they received a commandment from God to kill a blameless woman and her baby girl. Beginning with a meticulously researched account of this appalling double murder, Krakauer constructs a bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, polygamy, savage violence, and unyielding faith.

For 30 years, Lynn Wilder, once a tenured faculty member at Brigham Young University, and her family lived in, loved, and promoted the Mormon Church. Then, their son Micah, serving his Mormon mission in Florida, had a revelation: God knew him personally. God loved him. And the Mormon Church did not offer the true gospel. As Lynn tells her story of abandoning the deception of Mormonism to receive God's grace, she gives a rare look into Mormon culture, what it means to grow up Mormon, and why the contrasts between Mormonism and Christianity make all the difference in the world.

Story
In a book that took eight years to research and write, leading Bible scholar Bart D. Ehrman explores how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty Creator of all things. Ehrman sketches Jesus's transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus's followers had visions of him after his death - alive again - did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God.

View of the Hebrews is a book written by American Congregationalist minister Ethan Smith and first published in 1823. This book presents a theory (widely held in the 1820s religious community) that Native Americans are descended from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel and suggests that the similarities between Native American and Jewish customs, as well as archaeological evidence, support this theory.

With the exception of the terrible retreat from Afghanistan, none of England's many little wars have been so fatal in proportion to the number of those engaged as our first expedition to Burma. The Burman policy of carrying off every boat on the river, laying waste the whole country, and driving away the inhabitants and the herds, maintained our army as prisoners in Rangoon through the first wet season; and caused the loss of half the white officers and men first sent there.

Story
The 19th century was an age that witnessed great progress in many areas of exploration and learning. However, according to J. C. Ryle, it was an age of great ignorance too. What particularly distressed Ryle was the scant knowledge of the English Reformation evident amongst his contemporaries. In this lay a grave danger: one of the reasons so many congregations drift from their evangelical foundations is their sheer ignorance of Christian history, and their lack of understanding of the major doctrinal controversies and why they matter.

A milestone in the history of the novel, Samuel Richardson’s epistolary and elaborate Clarissa follows the life of a chaste young woman desperate to protect her virtue. When beautiful Clarissa Harlowe is forced to marry the rich but repulsive Mr. Solmes, she refuses, much to her family’s chagrin.

Terrifying and enlightening, Clarissa weaves a tapestry of narrative experimentation into a gripping morality tale of good versus evil.

Story
The Gilded Age is the collaborative work of Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner that satirized the era that followed the Civil War. This period is often referred to as the “Gilded Age” because of this book. The corruption and greed that was typical of the time is exemplified through two fictional narratives: one, of the Hawkins, a poor family from Tennessee that tries to persuade the government to purchase their seventy-five thousand acres of unimproved land.

Story
A psychological thriller before its time, James Hogg’s Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, published in 1824, takes us back to the world of 18th-century Scotland, into a mind haunted by religious obsession, and driven to commit murder. The events are told from several different viewpoints, so that truth and reality appear to dissolve in this disturbing story of the dark legacy of Calvinist doctrine, and how it led one man to madness.

Honesty
I like that she did just that “tell it all”. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, Fanny being a good Mormon “knew” that polygamy just couldn’t be ordained of god. I loved her bravery, her love for the sisters and her honest wit through out the book.

shocking to the soul
Let me introduce myself. I come from Mormon pioneer stock, born and raised in the gospel, loving my prophet, living all the commandments, temple active.... until all my studies of my youth shouted the discrepancies of the newer teachings. The temple was never a true comfort to me and I always felt that polygamy was a true Mormon way, something modern Mormons did not live but also did not seem to truly realize it was their eternal future, that forever family photo hanging on the living room wall is not what their forever family is going to be. I always said I was glad I didn't live in Brigham's years or I'd have killed myself or fled the religion as I have always thought of him as a jerk prophet. I removed my name from the LDS Church 3 years ago in 2017. Reading this book shocked me to the core. I had no idea just how awful it was for my sweet ancestors. I'm so glad I broke the chain in this family. it seems the Mormon Church was rooted in lies and continues to this day with the main leaders continuing to lie to the minions. It's disgusting! I feel for all those stuck in a cult.

Compelling and Heartbreaking
We need more clear-eyed, reliable, first person accounts of early Mormonism like this. It’s very engaging. Highly recommended. Ms. Stenhouse was an articulate and intelligent eyewitness to the Utah years in the era of Brigham Young’s polygamy. She and her husband lived among and knew Young, Heber Kimball, John Taylor and other top leaders personally, and she gives interesting first hand accounts of interactions with them. Her narrative is not just a fringe anti Mormon hit job or propaganda. Everything she says is entirely believable. She was a fully devout member who tried to go along with polygamy because she believed the church was true. It’s a window into just how anti-feminist Utah Mormonism was. This part of church history isn’t just embarrassing it is enraging and heartbreaking. And way worse than the glancing references about era polygamy you hear from the modern church. The church’s half hearted excuses for it will infuriate you after you hear first hand accounts like this one. To the extent that, when Stenhouse finally breaks out of the church, you feel a huge weight lifted from you.

a must read (listen)
I read the book and couldn't put it down- this account takes you back in time and makes you feel as if you are Fanny's friend, watching in real time.
a heartbreaking account of salvation being held from those who wouldn't participate in the perversion of polygamy
