Choosing Your Religion: World Religions At A Glance

When people begin to search for religions, they may start with talking to friends and family, people that they know and trust. They may have heard of them going to church, and might want to try that out. Others that are looking into more eastern traditions such as Confucianism, Buddhism or Taoism may decide to travel to the Far East, go to the many Holy Places in order to have a better grasp on what they are supposed to be doing with their life. Their search for that perfect religion may be driven by an internal desire to feel more comfortable about what really does happen the moment that we pass on. If neither your friends nor family seem to have a religion that caters to your personal beliefs of the world and the afterlife, you will start on a quest of your own. The problem is that it's difficult to choose between the many different religions because there are so many, with so many varied beliefs.

Is there one right religion? Is there truly a religious practice that encompasses more truth than others? Those that are devoted believers in their particular religion tend to think that way about the group they are with, the religious practices that they follow, and what their particular religion reveals about life now and the afterlife. But if you do not currently have a belief system, something that can give you a better idea of the world around you and what you should believe in, this book, Choosing Your Religion, may be able to help you out.

This book will provide an overview of the many major religions in the world today, some of which you have probably heard of before, and others that you may have never known existed. Without having at least a brief summary of what the many cultures in the world believe, you will never be able to find a religion of your own, one that will give you a sense of peace.

Let's now start with a brief overview of what religion actually is, and from that point we will present many different possibilities for you to choose from, helping you on your quest to choose your religion.
