Unbelievabe awareness to share with other people of faith and outside "religious" circles too
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I was surprised by the ease of reading. This is written in storytellers format and short stories are easily shared with my kids and roommates alike. I've read one story to a 2nd grader and another to a friend in her 80s. I've shared these with Christian women, woman with no "religious preference" only background in a church of sorts and a couple of guys who hadn't a clue where they were spiritually at that moment. These are preaching tales but stories of women from 3 faiths that share some common ground. I particularly liked the Adam and Eve fictional tale where Evil was originally a camel made into serpent. I won't spoil the surprises you will find in this book. Highly recommend - even to advanced elementary readers. My fifth grader (who only reads Harry Potter and fantasy/mystery novels) loves these stories. Even if she'd rather they be read aloud. Want a book club book for people who don't like to read A LOT - this is your pick. Want to reach to someone set in their ways of being Jewish or Christian or Muslim, I can't say enough but I'm from the Christian persuasion and undoubtedly seeking diversity. This is one of my favorites!
