Any additional comments?

I love how Bill O'Reilly only uses information that can be verified by other sources outside of the Bible. It was very intriguing. There is nothing disrespectful in this book for Christians. It was a very fair, honest, and historical account of Jesus Christ and I truly enjoyed it.

Rather deceiving title and irritating narration

Revisado: 09-12-17

Full disclosure: I am an active Mormon. But I like hearing other views and seeing the "other point of view." So the idea of this book sounded appealing. However, after a few hours of the narrator I'd had enough. I could possibly consider reading the book on my own but listening is too much. The narrator has a way of sounding condescending and incredulous. It's one thing to not share certain beliefs but it's another thing to emphasize certain words in a way that is almost offensive for someone who does believe. And in many instances it is just unnecessary. Furthermore, the title is deceiving. It made me feel that this book was going to be about how Mormons have influenced society, spread into different industries in positions of significance, how mormons were so poorly mistreated in the early years of existence and how society in general has come to recognize and even accept the religion as the legitimate church it is. But instead, more than half the book is all about incredulous here say about how the church hides truth from its members, how members are ignorant to the "real" history of the church, and how Joseph Smith had to be a fraud. It's just gets old. I would recommend as an audible, and I'd be very skeptical reading on your own.
