Editorial Reviews

Public and academic libraries looking to expand or supplement their religious reference collection will find this small guide useful. -- Shannon Graff Hysell, ARBAonline

This is a book all Christians can readily use. . . . Short and compact, this guide provides an excellent starting point for those wanting to know more about the new world of religions around them. It would be an excellent tool for churches wishing to educate and train their congregations to engage them in their own neighborhoods with some understanding. -- David Ripley, Billy Graham Center, Wheaton, IL, EMQ April 2007
