Description

There are 2.3 billion Christians, 1.6 billion Muslims, 1 billion Hindus, 400 million Buddhists, 14 million Jews, and 15 million Mormons around the globe. To read about their beliefs and practices is one thing. To go to their worship places and engage them is another. Come with the author to Iran to hear fiery sermons by ayatollahs in the mosques and to see the male worshipers beating their chests and crying and to Muslim women's prayer meetings in homes and at Saints' tombs as the veiled women cry for liberation. Come with the author in America to Hindu temples where followers worship before the deity Krishna chanting his name 16,000 times and worship before the symbol of a lotus flower out of which sprouts the Christian cross. Visit a Buddhist temple whose leader is a saffron robed monk from Sri Lanka who leads Americans in meditation before a golden statue of Buddha. Visit a Muslim mosque, a Jewish synagogue, a Baha'i center, a Moonie church, and a Mormon complex. Reading this book will make one feel one has traveled to India, Iran, Japan, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East. In reality their followers are next door neighbors. They are among your physicians, lawyers, merchants, and educators. George W.
