5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant and well written, November 28, 2002

This review is from: Inside the Mormon Mind (Paperback)

Dr. Tice, in this easy to read essay on Mormonism, manages to convey how devoutly she once believed in the religion, and also how much she loves her family and respects their beliefs. The fact that she felt this way and was still able to leave the church shows incredible courage on her part. The book seems to be a fair and balanced accounting rather than a "hate" piece, which probably would have been the easier path to take after finally leaving the fold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inside the Mormon Mind by Elizabeth Tice, April 16, 2001

By 

Judith Muhammad (Troy, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inside the Mormon Mind (Paperback)

Inside the Mormon Mind by Elizabeth Tice is, by far, the most interesting work that I have read in this area. Dr. Tice provides information with a personal flavor that makes the work more than just academic. It becomes a journey into the history and the psyche of those who follow this faith. While this book is written by a woman who has left the 'folds' of the Mormon church, it is clear that there is no criticism of those who continue to choose to follow it. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Tice's point is proven..., May 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside the Mormon Mind (Paperback)

This book is well written and hugely informative. It provides insight into the Mormon culture that can be generalized to the greater human condition. I am writing this review to point out the fact that the dichotomy in this list of reviews really proves Dr. Tice's point in the book. Reality is subjective, and when one is invested in a belief system, that investment filters one's perception. What Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips (assumed to be non-Mormon) perceived the work as " a remarkable book" that provides "a personal as well as an educational view," the reader from Salt Lake City (more than likely a Mormon) perceived as a "THIN pamphlet" that doesn't follow through on its promise to provide a "peak" (sic- did the writer mean peek?) into the Mormon mind. I have to side with the reader from Shawano: Astounding! Read this book to decide for yourself.
