This is a great book to have to at least learn the basic of other religions. If a world traveler or missionary it is a must because it will help you to understand others by their religions and help to build relationships by understanding others better.
Required reading for me as a student. Great book to have! All going into ministry should have this book. It will be a great help!
Was a book for my son for school. He likes it.
