The Shirtail Review is a page dedicated to reviewing interesting literature, books, and articles dealing with Mormonism either directly or indirectly. I will include highlights, comments and parallels as I see them, and how they relate, if at all, with Mormonism. One advantage of a review section like this is seeing the broadness and possibilities of learning about Mormonism from a steady stream of various sources. Reading is my passion, so reviewing what I read will enable you to see Mormonism in a broad light and help you gain a deeper understanding of this world religion phenomena.
