World wisdom from a wise woman of our own time January 7, 2009
This exploration of five of the world's wisdom traditions is readable and interesting, written by a religious woman who has shared own search for wisdom in several writings. I am enjoying it as I delve into it.

According to Chittister, "The truth in every age lives with questions in progress."
The one thing that is never in question for me is that a Chittister book is inspiring, insightful and seems to make a positive contribution in my life.
In this book, Joan deals with some rather universal questions in each chapter - questions common to all inhabitants of this planet. She addresses these questions with insights from other cultures and 5 different faith persuasions.
I recommend this book. It was a blessing for me.
Helped me appreciate major world religions January 27, 2008

Of a few books that I have read about religion and spirituality, I believe this is a great book to start. What a simple way of getting the best world religion has to offer:
a) The question answer format used by the book works very well for new people to this subject, like me.
b) The root of tradition section with summary for each religion is excellent for me who would like to know the most important things about a religion in a few words.
c) It has many interesting short stories.
Joan Chittister, thank you for this wonderful book. Now, I can understand why you did not write a book, with the same question answered by spiritual insight of major world religions.
