Product Description
Keys to understanding our shrinking worldA generation ago almost everyone a Christian encountered went to church or at least knew he or she should. Today, with the world at America's doorstep, evangelical Christians more than ever need to understand their neighbors and their changing beliefs.
The Compact Guide to World Religions is a complete, easy-to-use handbook of the origins, basic beliefs, and evangelistic challenges and opportunities of the world's major religions in clear, easy-to-use chapters and charts. "This book is a storehouse of information, the most insightful and practical guide I have seen on this subject. It is a rich resource for every Christian who seeks to communicate effectively in a maze of worldviews." Ravi Zacharias, President Ravi Zacharias International Ministries "The Compact Guide to World Religions brings together some of the best apologetics material available anywhere. This is a great help to those of us committed to carrying out the Great Commission." Franklin Graham, President Samaritan's Purse "Cultural diversity is the mark of every large city all over the world. The time has come when those who would better understand their neighbors need a primer on world religions. The Compact Guide to World Religions not only details the beliefs and practices of non-Christians but offers clear pointers on witnessing, inviting you to respectfully communicate with people of each religion h

 | World Religions book Sep 19, 2008 |
| I purchased this book at the request of an employer who finds this book a very helpful resource. | | | | A lot of information thats invalueable May 31, 2008 |
| This is a great book to learn about other religion and cultures, especially if you are an evangilist, pastor, minister, or just a lay person. I found the information in this book to be helpful, insightful, enlighten and easy to read and understand until it becomes unexcuseable why the children of darkness is wiser then the children of light. I found other religion in this book that I have never even heard of. | | |  | Shallow Nov 2, 2007 |
As a Buddhist, I read only the section on Buddhism and my rating reflects only this part of the book.
I was heartened that the author didn't make any of the grotesque factual errors that I often see in evangelical Christian coverage of Buddhism. However, the account was terribly superficial and the author demonstrated no true comprehension of Buddhist beliefs. It seems to me, as an evangelical tool, this chapter failed. I found that the tactics recommended for proselytizing to Buddhists were laughable and couldn't imagine them succeeding with a practicing Buddhist.
I would encourage anyone wanting a more sophisticated presentation of Buddhism from a Christian perspective to read some of the offerings of Brother David Steindl-Rast, Father Heinrich Dumoulin, or Thomas Merton.

| This book is a true relavation regarding the intolerance of Christianity, constantly reminding the reader of Jesus Christ being the one true savior. Once the reader has the common sense to overlook the bias of the authors it is really very funny i.e. Suggestions for Evangelism to Taosts, Approching Jewish People with the Gospel and the Evangelistic Do's and Dont's With Muslims. If you want to convert the world to Christianity this is a perfect start, it reads like an 18th century missionary primer. | | |  | Another book of intolerance. Sep 30, 2006 |
I got this book as a gift from my sister because she knew I am interested in studying world religions. It's too bad she only looked at the cover and didn't bother to read it a little before buying it. This book is NOT an informative book on world religions. It's an Evengelical intolerant guidebook for witch hunters.
Being a Wiccan, I was very offended by what the author wrote about the Wiccan religion. Not only is his "information" incorrect, but the entire book is biased against all religions except Christianity. One of the things he writes about the Wiccan religion is that "It promises power, mystery, self-gratification, and rebellion against Christianity" and this statement is completely false.
This author is all about telling why Christianity is the "right" religion and that all others are wrong. Included in each chapter is a guide to converting people of each religion. I personally find this idea sick and twisted, and it should not be in a book about world religions. | | | Write your own review about Compact Guide To World Religions, The
