Customer Reviews

Core values and practices of world religions

My husband and I love the whole "... Like Mine" series, and bought most of them to give to our many nieces and nephews on their birthdays. We are an inter-racial couple and there are people from various ethnic and religious backgrounds in my husband's rather large family, so we both think this series is a great way to expose the children in our family to other cultures. We like "A Faith Like Mine" very much, because it presents simple facts and core values of the major religions around the world. I disagree with another reviewer that a negative trait of this book is that it focuses too much on the fundamental aspects of these religions. This is a book for children. It's not an in-depth study of world religions, but rather a way to expose them to something different and hopefully inspire them to respect and learn more about children with different faiths. I think this book does a good job just that.

An excellent book and a great gift

We are not the same faith as my in-laws so it can make gift giving for religious occasions a little tricky. This book has been great for us at First Communion time as it acknowledges a sacred moment in the child's life but doesn't "say" anything we don't believe ourselves. I also like the fact that it not only shows how different faiths celebrate the same event--such as a wedding--but also that people of the same faith in different countries or cultures might celebrate differently. At least in our family children and parents have responded positively.

My nine year old grandchildren love this book. A great tool to learn abpou children in other cultures

Nice colorful introductory book on world religions

Very appealing and interesting for all ages. As a Baha'i, I am delighted that this book actually includes our Faith. We are, after all, the second most widespread religion in the world. It's nice to see that this book, unlike some others, included us and got with the program!
