Wisdom from World Religions: Pathways Toward Heaven on Earth

World-wide wisdom... This book is interesting, entertaining, and mind-opening-- especially for those with a fixation on the ritual and ceremony of a certain religion, and not humble enough to recognize continuing revelation. WISDOM FROM WORLD RELIGIONS reveals how worship of tradition stagnates. But it does not challenge one believer against another, discuss different degrees of truth in theology, or the varied aspects of Wisdom toward better living. It is not provocative-- but a calming adventure of insights... Anyone interested in religious history and philosophy will thoroughly enjoy the myriad quotes from all the different world religions.

Wisdom From World Religions: Pathways Toward Heaven On Earth by Sir John Templeton (Rhodes scholar and founder of the John Templeton Foundation and the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion) is an impressive and memorable collection of anecdotes, meaningful teachings, insights, and much more thoughts of spiritual enlightenment drawn from religions and religious individuals worldwide, ranging from Christianity and Islam to Hinduism and Confucianism. One does not necessarily need to practice a religion or hold to a particular belief system in order to incorporate fruits of this cornucopia of wisdom teachings into one's life. A broad, exhaustive, powerful compendium of tenets for self-improvement, morality, and love, Wisdom From World Religions is a most profound book and highly recommended reading for students of religion, spirituality, ethics, and morality.
