Synopsis

In 420 pages aglow with color and alive with insight, you walk with such towerin figures and share in the varied forms of worship they inspired. Listen to Hebrew prophets, whose wisdome enriches not only Judaism but Christianity and Islam as well. Watch Confucius emerge as a great teacher after serving as a reforming politician. Learn that Jesus was wary of the title Messiah lest he be mistaken for a political leader. Meet Mohammed who, though unchooled, wrote his message in the hearts of one out of seven people in the world today. In this stirring volume you witness the impassioned odyssey of the human soul along paths charted by five great faiths: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.
