Wonderful Introduction

The right level of detail for someone interested in learning about the major religions. Easy to stay engaged to the reader/voice actor. The accompanying PDF includes a timeline of major events for each religion. I would've appreciated a single timeline so one could see how things developed over time, but I'll just do that on my own

Informative & Easy to Understand

I was looking for a source to give me a better understanding of religions I'm not very familiar with, while also highlighting the differences. This book fulfilled that need perfectly. I found myself asking a lot of follow-up questions I wouldn't have known to ask.

Great Place To Start!
