World Religions Made Easy

I like the display with colors and correct information.

This book gives the right amount of information to understand the different religions of the world. Excellent product.

Well written. Easy to understand

This summer as an extension of my Internet Evangelism, I took an online course about bridging our communication with Muslims. We discovered areas in which Muslims and Christians can agree and the things we have in common. The study showed me topics that I can safely discuss with Muslims. The information in this booklet shares information about thirty world religions. While I was familiar with more than a few of the religions, but there were many groups of which I had never heard. During my experience sharing Jesus with women around the world, I was introduced to Santeria. I gained some valuable information from this resource. Also, I had read an article about a doctor in our county that is proud of his belief in Sikhism. There were many particulars about reincarnation, karma, and the 5 K’s of this religion. My main purpose in a resource of this type was how each religion dealt with Jesus and what happens after death. This book was very clear on both counts. I was astonished at the number of men who basically founded their own religion and wrote the religious texts. It seems kind of egomaniacal on the part of the founders. I marvel that “man” has such a problem believing in Jesus and God’s plan of salvation. I did notice that several religions were covered more thoroughly and included six or seven pages of information. My suggestion would be to include more in-depth writing about Judaism and Biblical Christianity. I found this resource to have much valuable information and was given this pdf from Hendrickson/Rose Publishers for an honest review.

Small, 4.5" X 6.5", 95 pages to describe major religions of world, written from a Christian point of view, OK for a very quick peek, maybe look to Wiki for more detail.'

This book takes Paul’s teaching on the Areopagus in Acts 17 several steps further. Paul begins his teaching by discussing how religious the Athenians seemed to be. He then went on to lead them to learn about Jesus from their polytheistic mindset. Their Unknown God was the One he encouraged them to know. World Religions Made Easy discusses the main religions found in the world today - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Shintoism, Taoism, New Age, and Confucianism. Many other religions and belief systems are also covered. Words such a pantheism and meditation are also discussed. It reviews what these groups believe about such things as the personhood of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, the way to salvation, what happens after death, and other practices of the group. While I do not envision many readers sitting down and reading the entire book, it is a valuable reference book for a very reasonable price. This is an excellent addition to the library of someone in search of God or when you are discussing religion with someone who was not of your own faith. The chart at the end of the book – “What Some Groups Teach About Jesus and the Bible’s Response” would help in discussions. An index would have been a helpful addition to look up specific words. I was given a pdf version of the book to review, and the opinions are my own.

I bought this because I'm interested in how all the world religion's came into being. The author covers the main religions, but his bias is clear from the outset, and he doesn't cover all the religions to the same degree of depth. It was a disappointing read.

Quick reference guide on the more popular world religions with info about major beliefs, history and how each religion viewed Jesus. Enlightening and also a handy tool for witnessing

CLEAR & CONCISE

But too much info to process. Probably need to read it 5-6 times to grasp.
