Description

Finally polygamy is brought out of the darkness and into the light. As a long-awaited approach to polygamy from a Mormon perspective, More Than One is a fascinating book from LDS author Shane LeGrande Whelan and is now regarded as one of the best resources about plural marriage in the Mormon Church and the confusing issues of its origin, purpose and future. More Than One contains a comprehensive collection of stories about life in early polygamous families with over 80 brief, first person accounts of pioneer life in plural marriage. It brings history to life by showing how couples met through divine intervention, how they chose another wife, and how husbands shared their time and affection. More Than One provides evidence that plural marriage was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy and paints an intriguing picture of how life would be today if we were to once again practice this divine principle. This unique book leaves the reader with a greater understanding of plural marriage as well as an appreciation for those who practiced it. More Than One enlightens the mind, touches the heart and moves the soul.
