Shame On Facts On File
There is not a thing wrong with the text of this book.It is well written and informative.The problem is that this book claims to be an updated edition.We've been able to find no changes from the prior edition.In my opinion, this is tantamount to defrauding schools and libraries with limited budgets, not to mention the folks who work hard to pay the taxes.Buy the version that's not updated.You'll get the same product probably for a better price and let Facts On File know that such conduct is not appreciated.

A good primer for understanding
For an American trying to understand an Eastern religion, it is difficult to overcome new concepts and vocabulary.While trying to do this, I found myself missing the key points.Since this book was written for a younger audience, the language helps you gain a good, basic understanding of Sikhism.After, adults, or young adults, can progress to denser texts.

This is a fairly short book.Let this be an indication that it will not get caught up in philosophical discussion.It merely gives you the facts about this religion.It explains the history, some of the characteristics (like the 5 k's), and the special occasions (all of which seem to deal with the reading of the "Guru Granth").

In the back of the book is a glossary to help you remember and work with the text.I found the book written in such a way that I did not need to refer back to it.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know about Sikhism. ... Read more

Book Description
Seekers after Truth is the second of two volumes written for 14-16 year-olds who are studying the six great religions of the world. The first book covers Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and the second Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism. Both volumes are divided into three sections which look at each of the religions in various aspects - history, beliefs, festival, worship and sacred texts. Guidance is given to the students in the form of key questions to consider. Important texts or prayers from the religions are used to summarise the aspect being studied. Colourful and informative photographs and maps further help the reader to understand what is often difficult subject matter. A glossary of key words is provided in each unit as an aid to grasping the essence of each religion and to help with work for examinations. ... Read more
