A REFRESHING LOOK AT THE MANY PATHS TO GOD Oct 21, 2000
By Dorothy Weiss
This is a refreshing, unbiased, objective source of information about all religions. In addition to his extensive factual research, Mr. Sadleir indicates that he attended and participated in activities of all these religions, and actually spent time with the leaders and and members of each congregation so that he could write about them accurately. This is what I like most about this book; it contains no hearsay nor innuendo. Look through the pages and find what suits you best. As the founder of the Self Awareness Institute in California, Mr Sadleir has done a lot of work so readers can exercise their right of choice and experience the joy of spiritual freedom. Concise brief chapters share the history, belief systems, practices, location, leaders, addresses, phone numbers, and web sites of each religion. Highly recommended!

 Wonderful! Jul 13, 2001
By Diana Ashcroft
I first purchased this book 10 years ago under the title, " The Spiritual Seeker's Guide". Once I found what I was searching for, I sold the book at a yard sale. Since then I have purchased two more copies for a friend and a family member, because I told them how informative this was in giving basic beliefs and histories to the many different religions. Now I am buying a third copy to keep for myself, in case I should ever want to lend it out. I had difficultly tracking this down.. the author has since updated the material, and changed the title of the book. This is great for plain & simple basics.

Impressive, Honest, Truthful! Mar 18, 2010
By Robert V. Uhl
This book is perfect for the spiritual seeker. It gives you a good overview of all the religions and perhaps insight
as to why we are where we are in the world today. I have read Mr. Sadleirs bio, which is quite impressive, and feel this is a must read for everyone with an open mind. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. Self-realization: An Owner-User Manual for Human Beings

One of my most favorite resources! Jun 14, 2003
By Neil J. Hajba
"neil_in_la"
This book is NOT the most definitive guides to the world's religions and faith traditions, but it gives a great cursory overview (with resources for further study) for a great many of them. I use this book in conjunction with "A Sourcebook of the World's Religions" by Joel Beversluis frequently. If you are looking for indepth theological information, this may not be the book for you....however, if you are searching or shopping for faith or are interested in interfaith/inter-religious issues, by all means, this book is recommend without reservation. Highly recommended for students of comparative religion, cultural anthropology, and related subjects.
a must-read! Mar 30, 2010

I love this book and I highly recommend it! It is a fantastic account of years of research of every religion known. Steven Sadlier along with book research actually personally met with the people of each faith, went to their services, understood what they are about. The years and decades this process took him is actually a gift to all of us readers who can finally just pick up a book and visit to all these places with him! Extraordinary!
