Title: Most Factual & Accurate Portrayl of the Mormon Prophet
Review: This is a good book. Whether you're an ardent student of American History, a devot Mormon looking to discover more about our founding Prophet, or simply a curious (albeit more serious than most) by-stander who wants to learn more about Joseph Smith, Rough Stone Rolling is a must read. Like any large organization, the LDS Church tends to emphasize the highlights of Joseph Smith's life and de-emphasize his warts and frailties. However, Richard Bushman's research has made Joseph Smith more approachable. Joseph Smith was a man. Plain and simple.As a man, Jospeh followed his spiritual promptings and became the Prophet-founder of a worldwide religion, whose followers number more than 13 million. However, he put his pants on one leg at a time ... just like you and me.A little dense for the casual reader; but nonetheless accessable to nearly every semi-serious student of American history or Mormonism.
