Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu: The Parallel Sayings: The Common Teachings of Four World Religions

The Parallel Sayings not only compares the holy writ from diverse religions, it also refutes and clarifies some false claims about their relationship and history. A lot offered in a small and artfully composed book.

This book is an easy read with the Introduction providing historical information, primarily on Christianity and the findings which present it more in line with Krishna, Buddha and Lao Tzu. The rest of the book is laid out with a topic taking two pages, the headings going across and the parallel messages under each. I personally have used it as a morning devotional because it is pleasing to read and contemplate the same message presented 4 different ways. I grew up Christian yet felt the ancient texts were very similar to the others and this book is helping me understand similarities as I explore my path.
