When Men Become Gods by Stephen Singular

A synopsis of the life and times of Warren Jeffs, Mormon polygamist. Singular describes what happens when ploygamy becomes a dangerous, abusive, militant cult intimidating women and children as well as men. If you have been watching the series "Big Love," you will recognize the difference immediately. All is certainly not fun and games, with all members of the "family" getting along. A charismatic Jeffs rules his family and the members of his religious group with an iron hand, meting out justice and injustice alike, tearing families apart and indoctrinating the children from an early age with fear and violence. Quite an educational read. Sandy Penton
