Publisher's Synopsis
This book is my humble attempt to promote understanding and mutual respect across diverse religious systems. It does not favor one over another or attempt to influence anyone's spiritual journey. Instead, it seeks to educate by demystifying other faiths, dispelling misconceptions, and emphasizing the positive teachings of the world's major religions.Sacred writings of all religions were intended to create a historical record and teach us how to interact peacefully and harmoniously without violence. If we prioritize and share the lessons found in our sacred texts, we can minimize hate crimes, racial and cultural discrimination, and end terrorism. Adherence to scripture, interfaith acceptance, and multicultural appreciation are key disciplines forming a metaphorical "holy water" to extinguish the smoldering embers of religious terrorism. We are on the brink of World War III, and our leaders are fanning the flames behind us. We must combine our voices across the planet and peacefully call out our leaders to eradicate war as the only means of dispute resolution. Can humankind find peace and harmony in time?
