Synopsis

It’s not every man whose wife criticizes his fidelity, but Jacob Christianson hasn’t exactly led a typical life. Raised in a conservative polygamous sect, Jacob has struggled for years to reconcile his faith with his skepticism about the fundamentalist practices of his community. Not so long ago that conflict helped Jacob to combat a dangerous faction of his own church. Now it has brought the FBI to his door, seeking help to infiltrate a millennialist cult suspected of plotting to kill a US senator.When the FBI ignores Jacob’s warnings, it sparks a dramatic standoff with the cultists, leaving Jacob and his family caught squarely in the middle. Tense and engaging, Mighty and Strong is a gripping foray into the world of religious extremists, culminating in a thrilling battle for supremacy that will leave no one unscathed.

A window into a world very few outsiders know, the extremely insular, polygamous, and convoluted Mormon religions -- of which there are many, interconnected by various forms of faithfulness to their originators in the 1800's -- in central and southern Utah. This series is fiction, but drawn from har......more

Goodreads review by Richard on August 22, 2020

I didn't know being a Mormon was so complicated. 'Mighty and Strong' is a pretty good yard about infighting between Mormon factions resulting in skulduggery and murder. Jacob Christianson doesn't really know whether he's a Mormon or not. His missus wants him to take another wife, but Jacob reckon's......more
