Faith: five religions and what they share

This is a beautiful, informative, and valuable book.  Our world is so often torn apart when we look at the things that divide us.  This is a text on comparative religions that uses the approach of looking at similarities.  It starts with a brief description of what faith is, and what the five most common world religions are.  It then looks at various elements that are common to many or all of these, such as sacred texts, symbols, prayers, etc.  It is illustrated with photographs (often of children), and next to each photograph is a simple caption stating which religion it is depicting.  I think every school library needs to have this book.
