I first came across this book several years ago in a Christian book store. I had never heard of the author or the book, but I bought a copy, and I have referred to it a thousand times since and recommended it at least several hundred times - in fact, at every opportunity. I am invariably thanked by those who bought the book on my recommendation. One of the most recent ones (who was reluctant to get it for quite a while, I think) commented: "Wow! This is powerful stuff! I can't put it down!"

Review by Don Mitchell

The Demon-Haunted World was the first book I read after losing my faith in the Mormon church, and it has had a profound effect upon my post-Mormon world-view. Sagan does a great job in this book of exposing myth, superstition, and pseudo-science for what they are, while examining what makes these faulty methods so appealing to so many people in today's world.

Grant Palmer - MA, American History, BYU - (and retired from a career as Director of several Institues of Religion , instructor at the Church College of New Zealand, and Seminary teacher) has written a very important addition to the growing libary of well-researched and scholarly titles about the history of Mormonism.
