Customer Reviews

A Great Book to Share

The Chicago area has a wonderful diversity of cultures and faiths. I have enjoyed sharing this book with people of many different faiths, children and adults. This book is endorsed by a wide range of religious leaders and organizations (see author's notes).

Religions of the world

This is a wonderful presentation made without bias and in a language all can enjoy and appreciate

A beautifully illustrated overview of world religions

This is a wonderful way to introduce children and even adults to a wide array of world religions. (My husband confessed that he had not heard of a couple of the religions included in the book, so it was educational for our whole family!) While obviously not intended as an encyclopedic treatise on each religion, the book provides an overview of history and teachings that ideally will pique the reader's curiosity. And the illustrations, which incorporate symbols from each faith tradition, are a delight.

A Perfect Book!

Wow! This book is absolutely amazing! The artwork is captivating and the information is overwhelming. It's a picture book for all ages - for kids because of it's majestic paintings, and for teens and adults because of its vast amount of information on 28 different religions. This book is a very good investment for anyone who is intrigued with the many faiths and customs of people around the world.

Beautiful and informative

I love this book, not only are the illustrations stunning but the writing is concise and fluid. It will appeal to parents as well as children because there is so much information about different religions and the art seems to capture the nature of some of these faiths.
