Religion For Dummies explains how the world’s great religions answer questions that persist through generations Authors Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Thomas Hartman are trusted religious advisors known as the God Squad. With wonderful wit and incredible wisdom, they host a daily talk show which reaches nearly 4 million homes in the New York area, and have appeared on numerous TV and radio shows.

This book is not a scholarly theological treatise; it’s a lively, practical, hands-on resource that will help you better understand your own religion and others. You’ll explore:

• Religion's role in the family and in the workplace
• The beliefs and practices of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other religions
• Religion's impact during major passages in life such as birth, death, and marriage
• How to join a religion and how to pray
• How religion can help you deal with issues in every day life such as conflict, adversity, marriage, divorce, and more
• Religious rituals and ethics

Religion for Dummies touches on lesser-known religions (such as, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Sikhism). It explores how people of various faiths pray, celebrate life and death, and view moral issues. The book does not tell you what to believe, but rather encourages you to live as you believe and let your religion infuse every aspect of your life. It doesn’t give simple answers to haunting, complex questions; it helps you find your own answers and pursue your own spiritual path!.

John Paul II: A Tribute in Words and Pictures presents the life of the Pope through hundreds of photographs and the eloquent words of a Vatican insider and an American journalist. From his beginnings in Wadowice, a village in Poland, to his ascension to the throne of St. Peter, the book tells the story of Karol Wojtyla, the man whose love of God and his proud, war-torn Poland would change the twentieth century.

This beautifully designed book not only documents seven decades of political history following Wojtyla's early life in occupied Poland, living under the Nazi regime and, later, under Communism, but spans the globe as well. John Paul II's extensive travels throughout the world include visits with the forgotten: the poor in remote Mexican villages, the faithful in Africa, and the dying in Calcutta, and the famous: Nelson Mandela, Queen Elizabeth, Bob Dylan, the Dalai Lama.

With hundreds of photographs and sidebars, John Paul II is an illustrated keepsake biography for the world's billion Roman Catholics, for spiritual seekers captivated by his holiness, and for history buffs interested in the role he played in altering world politics..

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.
