More DescriptionThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of the fastest growing religious movements in the world. Highly visible, yet a mystery in terms of its core beliefs and theological structure, this timely book provides an important introduction to the basic history, doctrines and practices of The LDS - the 'Mormon' Church.
