The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormons),
often heralded as the fastest growing religion in American history,
is facing a crisis of apostasy. Rather than strengthening their
faith, the study of church history and scriptures by many members
pushes them away from Mormonism and into a growing community of
secular ex-Mormons. In Disenchanted Lives, E. Marshall Brooks
provides an intimate, in-depth ethnography of religious
disenchantment among ex-Mormons in Utah. Showing that former church
members were once deeply embedded in their religious life, Brooks
argues that disenchantment unfolds as a struggle to overcome the
spiritual, social, and ideological devotion ex-Mormons had to the
religious community and not out of a lack of dedication as
prominently portrayed in religious and scholarly writing on
apostasy.
