Very readable

Thoroughly enjoyed this boook. Quick read but with loaded with interesting information.

Excellent Resource

This is a fabulous book for the person desiring to learn about other religions and also the person interested in converting to another religion. It is written in a reader friendly format that is not overly analytical or bogged down with dry facts. He is amazingly respectful of each religion and shows the beauty in each faith. I borrowed it from the library and now want a copy for my own collection. It is great book for older children and adults alike.

Unity.

This writer has a beautiful understanding of the underlying unity of religions. So many comparison books subtly say this is what this religion thinks, and here is why they're wrong. Many books seem to say that only one religion can have the true path to God. This writer sees the underlying similarity and message and examines the traditions of each faith in a loving way.

An excellent summary

I came across this book after many years of personal study of different world religions and found it to be an excellent book for children to learn about how life would be were they brought up in a different faith-- this would seem to foster tolerance and understanding in our children, a trait that is far too lacking in our society as a whole. It is sad that this book is not more widely read and not still in print. It should be a part of every child's religious upbringing.
