Now, still reeling from the effects of a domestic tragedy, he’s hit rock bottom in the northern Arizona town of Flagstaff. His Kaibab Paiute friend has had enough of Guy’s drunken sorrow and violent outbursts, and jokingly suggests Guy “find a cliff” on the Kiabab Reservation.

The Song of the Saints examines the history of the hymnbooks and children's songbooks of the church, both the official and nonofficial versions.

While Christian denominations world-wide have been slipping into apathy, worldliness, and biblical illiteracy, the cult of Mormonism has been able to preach its satanic doctrines throughout the world deceiving countless souls in the process.
