Insightful review from Adison Stray

Our thanks to Adison Stray for this positive review. (If you’d rather read it on Amazon.com, click here.)
“It's Not About The Sex” My Ass tells the fascinating story of a woman’s personal journey from mainline Mormon, to fundamentalist Mormon, to non-believer. This case is interesting in that most fundamentalists are born into these groups, while Joanne and her husband choose to join a fledgling cult. The heroine is a highly intelligent and rational woman, demonstrating that, under the right (or wrong) circumstances, we are all susceptible to cults and charismatic leaders. The book is extremely witty and insightful, and the authors make many self-effacing and poignant observations that highlight the hypocrisy and manipulation of these groups, and their considerable dangers. I highly recommend this book and think it’s a valuable and unique addition to the range of titles that exist about the LDS and their many sects. —Adison Stray

Christian apologist review of It’s Not About the Sex My Ass

5/14/2014

Our first Christian apologist review:
differences aside, it’s positive

Dana G earns not just our gratitude for giving “It’s Not About the Sex” My Ass 4 stars on Amazon, but our respect for reviewing it with fairness, differences aside.

A Christian apparently of the born again variety, Dana took issue with the book’s biblical inferences. The greater part of the review is a lengthy Christian apology (“apology” meaning “explanation”), but Dana prefaced it, “It is definitely engaging, as I read it in 4 hours in one night, and at that from 10pm to 2am! It's an easy read and tells of a fascinating culture and the power of persuasion and pride.”

You can read Dana G’s review, dated May 13, 2014, by clicking here.  We read the apology with interest, but stand by the book’s observations. Reader comments are welcome, as always.
