Author Garry R. Morgan has put together a good resource for covering the main points of different religions. Understanding World Religions in 15 minutes a Day presents only the facts about each religion and does not have a biased viewpoint. There are 40 chapters in the book. Each chapter is about 4 pages long and really does only take 15 minutes or less to read.
The religions that are covered in this book are as follows:
Roman Catholic Christianity
Eastern Orthodox Christianity
Protestant Christianity
Evangelical Christianity
Animism and Folk Religions
Native American Religions
African Traditional Religions
Judaism
Zoroastrianism
Islam
The Nation of Islam
Baha'i
Hinduism
Janism
Sikhism
Theravada Buddhism
Mahayana Buddism
Tibetan Buddism
Confucianism
Taoism
Shinto
Secular Humanism
Cults, "Isms" and Contemporary Religious Movements
The Unitarian-Universalist Association
The Unity School of Christianity
The Unification Church
Christian Science
Scientology
Mormonism
Jehovah's Witnesses
Neopagan Religions
New Age Religions
Transcendental Meditation
I think this book would be a great resource to have on hand when dealing with others about different religions. I know for me I often can get them confused or forget what the main facets of a particular religion are. Morgan's book is concise and factual. I would recommend this book for anyone who would like a quick resource on hand.
