Join us to discuss Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith by Jon Krakauer.
A multilayered, bone-chilling narrative of messianic delusion, savage violence, polygamy, and unyielding faith, Under the Banner of Heaven follows the investigation into a double murder committed by two Mormon Fundamentalist brothers who insist they received a revelation from God commanding them to kill their victims. Weaving together extreme faith and police investigation, Krakauer examines the underbelly of the most successful homegrown faith in the United States.
Under the Banner of Heaven can be found on our bookshelves or as an ebook or eaudio through Overdrive. Additional copies will be available for checkout one month before the date of the program.
