2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Great Help In Understanding Practices Of Other Religions By Kindle Customer I just purchased this book yesterday and could not put it down. Although I'm no theologian or expert on the world's religions, I have read dozens of books on various theologies and religious practices. I could not put this book down until I finished it! The concise portrayal of each of the religions presented in this book along with the "rules of etiquette" and what a visitor to a church of a different denomination or creed should expect are extremely helpful. This book is well worth the money, especially if you are concerned that attending a service in a church of another faith would be daunting. This certainly will help to alleviate any apprehensions.
