Product Description:
People don't want to learn about religions just because there are religions out there. People want to learn about religions because they know that religions have great answers to the big questions.
Award-winning authors Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Thomas Hartman have produced a unique way of looking at the world's religions. Instead of isolating each religion in its own separate chapter, this book unites the religions by showing how each of them answers these universal questions:
- How should we live?
- What happens to us after we die?
- Why does bad stuff happen to good folks?
- How can we talk to God?
With a refreshing combination of humor and sensitivity, a rabbi and priest show us how Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and the other great religions teach us to live. This wise and often thoughtprovoking book shows us that each religion has its own wisdom and its own wonderful stories. It also explains who works for God, why the world's religions are so different, and why some days of the year have become holy.
How Do You Spell God? helps us appreciate religions from all over the world. It will also help us better understand our planet, our families, and ourselves.

The authors of this book are completely lacking in religious knowledge when stating facts quoted throughout this entire book. This book is completely misleading. Speaking on behalf of my own religion, this book contains an incredible amount of errors. If this book has this many errors about my own religion, how can I possibly trust the validity of the facts for the other religions? I do not give a single credit to the validity of this book. This book is simply trying to spread a message that ... Read More

Just reading this book alone, it seems very informative and sounds good. But on one of the few things I already know about, they write incorrectly that all major religions agree that "how we act is more important than what we believe". One of the authors is supposed to be Christian, and should know that major parts of Christianity say faith is more important than works. If they don't get that one thing that I know about right, how can I trust them on the other stuff they write?

This book gives a watered down interpretation of the major world religions stating their main purpose is telling us how to live right which they boil down to "doing good." They ignore the necessary base conflicts of the religions and put forth the argument of "all paths lead to the top of the mountain" (i.e. God though some of the religions don't believe in God or believe in many gods). If you want a book that will tell you we can't know truth, all religions are about the same and "right" and doing ... Read More

The book is highly recomended for all persons from ages young till adult. The book gives a description of all the 6 major religions and other religions as well and it compares and contrasts all the similarities and differences. Really comes into my mind why Christians, Muslims and Jews are 3 separate religions eventough the basic origin is very much similar, i.e.the notion of Heaven and Hell, the belief in One superior being, Places of worships (Church, Mosque and Synagogue), Holy books (Bible, Quran ...

I absolutely LOVE this book! The loving way that these two wonderful men compare and contrast the major religions of the world is beautiful. I think it should be required reading for children AND adults! I ordered several copies to give as gifts to many young people in my life. I can't wait to share this informative and thought provoking book with them. What an incredible step towards tolerance and embracing the different ways we all worship God. Thank you Mssrs. Gellman and Hartman, you have truly ... Read More
