Publisher Description
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.

"I enjoyed 'The Righteous,' and I think the writing in this one is even better. Really enjoyed the read. The characters are very realistic and I feel like I'm getting an accurate picture of FLDS life (not that I would really know... but it doesn't seem sensationalized)."

" The first book is by far the best. But once you start you will not be able to stop. Be prepared to continue to read these books even after you have lost your original desire. "
— Annie, 2/5/2014 -
" Not great literature but good recreational reading. Second in a series focusing on polygamous Mormon sects. Main characters are well developed and sympathetic. Raises thought provoking questions about loyalty to family, desire for community and religious practice. "

" I'm really getting into these polygamist/mystery series. "
— MaryJude, 1/20/2014 -
" For some reason, this series is hard to put down. The plot has plenty of holes, and is terribly implausible, but Jacob and Eliza are compelling characters. The book moves very quickly and is an easy read. I expect I will get the next one. "
— Bill, 1/17/2014 -
" Following the first book, with more information on Mormon and Mormon-outlier life and thought. A good read for quick consumption. "

— Tammy, 12/6/2013 -
" I really enjoyed the first book, but wasn't as impressed with this one. The story line was still good enough for me to read the next in the series. "

" I am enjoying this series. It combines a mystery with twists and turns you don't find in everyday thrillers by adding the Mormon, polygamy aspect. "
— Jamie, 8/26/2013 -
