Customer Reviews

Best book on comparative religion I know about

The subtitle says it all: "Answers to the big questions from around the world." Filled with both humor and wisdom. I read it to my son when he was small – and I still turn to it myself. Worth getting the hardback version, which in my opinion is better than the paperback: it has better art and graphics, PLUS a foreword by the Dalai Lama. Highly recommended. Seriously, this book needs to be reprinted. Many adults could use some re-education right now.

Easy to Read and Understand

The book is highly recomended for all persons from ages young till adult. The book gives a description of all the 6 major religions and other religions as well and it compares and contrasts all the similarities and differences. Really comes into my mind why Christians, Muslims and Jews are 3 separate religions eventough the basic origin is very much similar, i.e.the notion of Heaven and Hell, the belief in One superior being, Places of worships (Church, Mosque and Synagogue), Holy books (Bible, Quran and Torah)..etc.

Heartfelt applause!

I absolutely LOVE this book! The loving way that these two wonderful men compare and contrast the major religions of the world is beautiful. I think it should be required reading for children AND adults! I ordered several copies to give as gifts to many young people in my life. I can't wait to share this informative and thought provoking book with them. What an incredible step towards tolerance and embracing the different ways we all worship God. Thank you Mssrs. Gellman and Hartman, you have truly blessed us with this book.

Very informative

This book goes into details about the different religions of the world. It describes how they are different but what makes them the same. This book does a good job informing the readers with out including bias remarks or views from one religion of another.

Clear, concise, yet in depth answers to big questions.

It delivers what it promises to be. Very interesting and very well written. Provides answers to important questions regarding religion. An objective look at world religions. Very impressive in terms of upholding and respecting other religions.

Great book about God!

Really explains how all religions are similer and different. I am 13 and loved it.
