This comprehensive collection of timeless and powerful stories puts
the wisdom of world religions in the hands of young readers.
When attempting to find a simple, engaging, and unbiased approach to
world religions for her own family, Marilyn McFarlane discovered such a
book did not exist. Understanding how important it is for children to
build both respect for and knowledge of a variety of religions,
regardless of their own faith, McFarlane created Sacred Stories: Wisdom
from World Religions.
Each captivating story and accompanying sidebar facts and spot
illustrations brings to life the key tenets of a particular belief
system, while the comprehensive glossary and resource list enable
readers to expand their explorations. Including easy-to-understand
descriptions and essential stories from Buddhism, Christianity,
Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Native American, and Sacred Earth, Sacred
Stories is perfect for parents and teachers who want to expand young
readers' understanding of world traditions.
The simple, informative, unbiased language of Sacred Stories,
combined with its comprehensive resource list and glossary, makes it an
ideal learning tool for teachers, librarians, and other educators.
