Dr. Paikh has done a great service by writing this book. the book is particularly good for beginer and intermediate level reader. The book is v. organized and written scientifically. Author has put a new idea about timeline of Jain history. The book was of great help to me for preparing a presentation on Jainism.

This is a wonderful book on Jainism - for those who know nothing about it as well as those who already have some background. It has a lot of good information but it is also very easy to read. Dr. Parikh has explained the concepts thoroughly and in an interesting way. You can definitely tell that he has experience as a teacher.

He presented the history and background clearly, and I have to say, it makes sense. You don't get the feeling that he is being preachy, which is refreshing.

The principles of Jainism are relevant to everyone, no matter what religion they practice. Anyone interested in a "peaceful world" (and who's not?) would enjoy reading this book. Indeed, the book is published by Peace Publications - how perfect.

The book also has examples of stunning monuments and art. Overall I enjoyed it and found it useful for me and my family.

*RECOMMENDED*
