I gave it a 4 because it's very simple, foundational, basic beliefs about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints--yet I realized when I read this review that for that very reason others who are not members or have not been in the church long may rate it a 5 for that very reason: "This was the first book I ever read about the Latter-Day Saints, even before the Book of Mormon. It is a comprehensive, straightforward book that covers the basic beliefs of the Mormons. There's a lot of bologna out there- if you really want to know what the Mormons believe, read this."She is right. Since I'm in the primary, I don't get to go to these lessons in SS and RS. I got my new book and decided to read through it myself. I did this every morning while I was brushing my teeth/blow drying my hair, etc... and it was a nice way to start the day. It puts the gospel in such simple terms and explanations and I think this would be a great missionary tool. I would like to re-read it and look up all of the scripture references this time, study deeper.
An interesting read, which taught me a lot about the LDS way of life / general belief system.
