Don't Let the Title Fool You
If you are a fan of contemporary fiction, READ THIS BOOK! A friend prodded me into reading it -- which I was not in the mood to do. After the first chapter, I was hooked. While the book's subject matter is scripturally based, it is not per se a religious work. The book has nothing to do with Mormonism, and even if you are not a student of the Bible, the storyline and characters are top notch. ...

Center Street, 2007

Totally engaging from beginning to end
This book is not necessarily one you would want to read before going to sleep for a couple of reasons: 1) it is so engaging it is hard to put it down, and 2) it makes you feel angry with the way the author was treated. The author lived in deep proverty. She was torn because of her devotion to her husband and religion, yet experienced extreme angony because of this devotion.

Inside the World of Warren Jeffs

Wyndham House Publishing, Division of Cloud Peak Publishing, Inc., 2008

Inside the World of Warren Jeffs looks deep into the world of the Polygamist lifestyle exposing the dark side as never before. You are skillfully taken by the author through the everyday existence of the pluralistic family to endure the pain, suffering, cruelty and regimentation of singular male domination.

Agreka Books, 2004

A unique history of a idiosyncratic group
Ben Bistline's history of the First Ward of Colorado City is unique excursion into a secretive group dedicated to a non-mainstream set of beliefs and practice. The Colorado City Polygamists is the shorter version of this history and is more suited to the general (and in particular) non-LDS reader. While a background in restorationist religious history is useful it is not essential to enjoying ...

Misers, Shrews, and Polygamists: Sexuality and Male-Female Relations in Eighteenth-Century Chinese Fiction
Keith McMahon

Duke University Press, 1995

Having multiple wives was one of the mainstays of male privilege during the Ming and Qing dynasties of late imperial China. Based on a comprehensive reading of eighteenth-century Chinese novels and a theoretical approach grounded in poststructuralist, psychoanalytic, and feminist criticism, Misers, Shrews, and Polygamists examines how such privilege functions in these novels and provides the first full account of literary representations of ...

A sad state of affairs
The author explains how the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS) church began. When people began following the teachings of Joseph Smith, and believed him to be a Prophet of God, they followed his teachings and were polygamists, because Smith told the people that a revelation from God told him that men were to take multiple wives in order to build up the kindom of God by allowing unborn soles ...

This book is so accurate!
I found this book very enlightening. I learned a lot about a group of people I knew little about. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know the truth about the society in Colorado City/Hildale. The author is not interested in sensationalism, but in reporting the truth. I moved to an area just south of these twin towns - found the people interesting and the book helps me to understand ...

My wife made me a polygamist

Walter A Trobisch

Inter-Varsity Press, 1971

Why polygamy in Africa sometimes made sense.
Walter Trobisch was a missionary from Germany to Africa. When he arrived at one of his missions, he learned that the women often preferred polygamy because the work of women in the group was very hard, and with polygamy, there were more hands to do the work. They lived on a subsistence level. Also, because of frequent warfare between neighboring communities, there was often a shortage of men, and ...
