Carmel Public Library Foundation Non-Fiction Book Club

Wednesday June 24 - 4:00 p.m.
Under the banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith by Jon Krakauer

Using as a focal point a chilling brutal double murder by two Mormon fundamentalist brothers, Krakauer ("Into Thin Air" and "Into the Wild") with compelling details follows the history of the Mormon Church -- from its early 19th Century founding by Joseph Smith, through its violent history, as it transforms itself into one of the world's fastest-growing religions. In an age where Westerners have trouble comprehending what drives violent Islamic fundamentalists, Krakauer gives us insights into a similar world within our own borders. Discussion led by Peter Mollman.

All book club meetings take place at the Chapman Room at Sunset Center, located at 9th & San Carlos in Carmel. For questions, call 624-2811.
