With my work for The Parliament of the World's Religions, I have had numerous amazing experiences and relationships with people of other faiths and within the Interfaith Roundtable. This book and the Roundtable are some of the legacy from the work done for the hosting of the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics.

This is a lovely collection of the representative religions in this area. Every entry has an illustration to symbolize that religion and a brief summary of their beliefs. Besides being a teaching tool, having these diverse faiths bound together in this book symbolizes the beauty of interfaith work and discovering the commonalities and the unique tenets between each.

The topic of religion is complicated, obviously, and author Peggy Fletcher Stack does a great job making it less so. Great book!

A simple way for most to learn about the 27 religions. I picked it up due to the 1 page brief description of each religion. I enjoyed that it was written for young people. I recommend it for the curious.

Recommended as a good book to teach children about world religions.
