If You Love Jesus You will Love this Book,

This review is from: World Religions Made Easy: An Easy to Understand Pocket Reference Guide (Paperback)
I bought this book because I was preparing to teach a course on World Religions to a group people from different countries. I wanted to be able to give them away. I appreciate this little volume because it is distinctly Christian in its content. In a world that is growing increasingly intolerant of the Christian faith and religiously pluralistic it is refreshing to have a solid (small and colorful) readable text. If you are a Christian you will like this book.

Not merely biased but intentionally misleading,
By Jonathan Orme (Fruit Heights, Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World Religions Made Easy: An Easy to Understand Pocket Reference Guide (Paperback)
Having already studied various religions somewhat I read this book hopeing to learn a few more facts. Instead I was horrified to find it saturated with statements like, "The stated goal of Islam is world domination," and "Hindusim isn't really a religion." The author cleary despises any system of belief other than a handful of protestant sects, the only religions to escape his scathing rhetoric. I'd like to say that the author is merely biased, but unfortunately he strays far from the realm of opinion and presents outright lies as facts. Worse, the nature of the information -- that it could be obtained withing fifteen minutes of research at a county library -- suggests that he isn't simply mistaken but intentionally misleading and (often) inflammatory.

Disgustingly Bias, to the Point of Predjudice,
This review is from: World Religions Made Easy: An Easy to Understand Pocket Reference Guide (Paperback)
The day after I recieved this book as a gift, it found its way straight to the trash. Written by a Protestant Christian author, the book is extremely bias. Supporting insult with scriptural verses, Water mischievously downplays all other religions besides his own. Catholicism and Christian sects are not even safe from his blows. Besides for this, the actual information is shaky in many instances. Definately not a book for anyone wanting fact, not opinion.
