Customer Review: Very nice overview
This is an excellent book for educating children on the basics of the main world religions. Unbiased and informative. Presents a basic description of the religions, what the representative images and ideas are, and some of the holidays that are celebrated.
Customer Review: Biased Presentation
With the five star reviews I hoped to get a completely fair and balanced presentation of the world’s religions, but what I received appears to be biased towards Christianity. I say, “appears,” because the differences between presentations are very subtle, but compare how positive the pictures are between the section on Christianity and Buddhism and I think you’ll see the difference. Maybe it was too much to expect a completely objective overview in a children’s book. The book is still usable to teach children with, but requires a bit of explanation to insure an equal treatment. However, if you are Christian you should be very happy with this book.
