This book is a good intro/review of beliefs other than Christianity (although there is some information about that as well). The book falls a little short in its over simplification of some of the religious groups (such as Judaism and the Jehovah's Witnesses), and some of it may even be a bit misleading because it's overly broad, however I would still recommend this if the reader was looking for a quick read on the differences between various religious beliefs and sects in the world.

This little book is perfect for introducing teens to world religions. It is concise, but gets the main points across quite well. Includes how the Bible disputes each religion. A good launching site for further comparisons of the religions. Nice layout and colorful design.

Little disappointed (tinier than expected, my fault) a basic outline of different religions. Nothing indepth.... But for the price it was ok.. As for the shipping and delivery very good... Would buy again, but read details more carefully

Very informative in a "no nonsense" way. To the point and easy to understand. This book makes me anxious to try the other "made easy" books! I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants the facts with no confusion.

I had found two articles once on a website which compared the difference in beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons and the christian belief.It would state a belief of mormons and then what the bible says about that. I wanted to have a book that would do that too. I searched the net and then found this site and this book. I thought that it would be in the same way the articles were. It did have that approach in some parts of it, but not all as i expected.I wanted a clear list of each religion with their beliefs stated one by one and after each belief, what the bible says. That way it's very clear to see the differences between the religion's belief and what God said in the bible.But it's a good book anyways, because it explains what the religions are about....how they began and such.

A good beginning point for learning. Just enough information to get you curious and provide a basic, "primer" on the religions and cults. I give this book away to people asking questions so they can look for themselves.
