Book Club "Under the Banner of Heaven" Feb. 15
Tired of being cooped up this winter? Looking for some lively conversation? BOOK CLUB might just be the answer.
The Wall Street Journal ranked "Under the Banner of Heaven - A Stroy of Violent Faith" by Jon Krakauer, as one of the greatest adventure books of all time. This book is a shift from extreme adventure to extremes in religious belief. Make plans to join us on Monday, February 15 at 7:00 pm to discuss "Under the Banner of Heaven - A Story of Violent Faith" by Jon Krakauer.
Using as a focal point the chilling story of offshoot Mormon fundamentalist brothers Dan and Ron Lafferty, who in 1984 brutally butchered their sister-in-law and 15-month-old niece in the name of a divine revelation, Krakauer explores what he sees as the nature of radical Mormon sects with Svengali-like leaders.
