Ok, it's official. Bushman biog of Joseph Smith is the BOTB
 

BOTB = book of the bi-month.

By going to by the byline above and clicking on "books" and then clicking through the picture of the book ("rough stone rolling") you generate funds that will one day expand the functionality of this site.....

What do you mean by "magical aspects?"

Joseph had a younger brother named Gob that was an aspiring magician. Sort of an odd fellow. And his magic wasn't very good.

How does it compare to ...
 

... Quinn's "Mormonism and the Magic World View"? Maybe I ought to just crack open my copy that is just sitting on my shelf and read it. Time always seems to be of the essence these days for me, sadly.

LMAO
 

at the Gob reference. Which one of you is Hermano?

Re: LMAO
 

No Hermano here, they call me Annyong.
