Purchase options and add-ons

Do you wonder what goes on inside a church, a temple, or a mosque? Do you find it strange that some of your friends worship on Saturday and others on Sunday? Why are young Buddhist's heads shaved? What do you suppose is meant by "speaking in tongues"?

Worshipers tread many different paths in their search for peace, love and eternal happiness. This book will tell you about the most familiar paths or faiths, and about some of the lesser-known faiths, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Friends' Beliefs: A Young Reader's Guide to World Religions
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2009

Written for thoughtful high school students in the USA, this is an excellent book to help answer the question, "What is their religion all about?"

When I was in high school I had several close friends whose religion was different from mine; we compared notes about some things, but other ideas and practices were a mystery to me--a mystery partly because I didn't know the important questions to ask and partly because most high school students don't really know their own religious beliefs and practices beyond their local institutions.

_My Friends' Beliefs_ tries to give kids (and adults) a perspective on what people of different faiths believe, how they worship, and how they live their lives--with particular emphasis on the participation of youthful members in their life of faith. About half the book is about different branches of Christianity and half about Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. There is only brief mention of faith branches that have sprung up in the past two hundred years. The book tries to give an honest summary of what each faith path teaches, what it wants its members to be, and how they should go about being members. It is necessarily simplistic, but its judgment seems sound concerning what it includes and what it omits.

This now-out-of-print book impressed me enough that I am using it as a core book in an adult comparative religion class I am teaching at my congregation. We will begin with the descriptions of our own faith (to give us perspective on the likely accuracy of the scholarship) and then move on to other pathways. I recommend this book as a good starting point for understanding both others' beliefs and their practices in America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hoping A New Edition will be issued, as it seems to only be available used.
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2017
I had this book a long time ago, and found it useful. I notice all the reviews are 5 stars, and it's rank on Amazon is #226 in Books > Teens > Religion & Spirituality. It will be 30 years old in 2018, and I hope someone is able to print a new edition so more teens have access to it.
