"With so much debate raging on about religion today, it's hard to remember the key values. . . . Looks to cut through the nonsense of divisions of the world religions and tries to outline the truth by focusing on what values religions have in common. A fine dive into the world of God that much of the world could do well remembering."-Midwest Book Review
