Product Description

Review

How I wish I'd found this book ten years ago. -- Julia Glass "Cookie" (10/01/2008)


Synopsis

What do you say when children ask the question: "What is God?"? Where do you start to explain? This book is an excellent non-denominational approach. Beautifully illustrated and written in simple direct language, it looks at universality of different religions and the spirituality which links people of all creeds, cultures and beliefs. Amongst the questions which are addressed: Is God in the thunder and lightning? Is God in the stars and the universe? Is God an old man in the clouds? Is God a mystery and a puzzle? What is religion? What are Christians, Jews, Muslims and Buddhists? What are the Holy books? Why are religions different? How are they similar? Why do people pray? How can I talk to God? Beautifully written in 58 easy-to-follow stanzas of blank verse. Non-denominational approach covers all kids of religion and the importance of the freedom to worship and to be able to think for yourself. Beautifully illustrated with 16 full page full colour illustrations showing different ideas, religions and practices

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, broad-based approach for 7-12 year olds., 15 Sep 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: What is God? (Paperback)
My 8-year old daughter finds this a great introduction to religion (and did so when she was 7 as well). Written from a broad-based perspective. Perspective is that many have asked the question, that many have approached some answers, that Moses, Jesus, Budda, Mohamed were all teachers, that the Bible, Koran, Vedas are books of answers to the question, and that despite the conflicts, the major religions end up saying a lot of the same things. Written for kids, but I enjoyed it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, simple and heart warming!, 30 Nov 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: What is God? (Paperback)
"What Is God?" is appropriate for both children and adults. Because of it's clarity and clear message, I use it in my work with young children and sometimes recommend it for adults who are searching for answers themselves. I used excerpts from the book for a reading at my wedding this fall and it touched everyone, regardless of their religion! They all connected with Boritzer's simple logic and examples of how most major religions all really teach the same things. Buy it for all the adults and children you know who have ever wondered, "What Is God?"

1.0 out of 5 stars This book seems to only confuse the question of "What Is God, 5 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: What is God? (Paperback)
The science-fiction classic, "Stranger In A Strange Land", brought forth the concept that "Thou Art God" 30 years before Mr. Boritzer set his words to paper. The idea is appealing and may have adult implications that require investigation but I don't think that a 7-12 year old child should be subjected to this type of work, which appears to deny the existence of a supreme God. Far from answering the question of "What" Mr. Boritzer has denied the very existence of "Who".
