1-0 out of 5 stars Shame On Facts On File
There is not a thing wrong with the text of this book.It is well written and informative.The problem is that this book claims to be an updated edition.We've been able to find no changes from the prior edition.In my opinion, this is tantamount to defrauding schools and libraries with limited budgets, not to mention the folks who work hard to pay the taxes.Buy the version that's not updated.You'll get the same product probably for a better price and let Facts On File know that such conduct is not appreciated.

4-0 out of 5 stars A good primer for understanding
For an American trying to understand an Eastern religion, it is difficult to overcome new concepts and vocabulary.While trying to do this, I found myself missing the key points.Since this book was written for a younger audience, the language helps you gain a good, basic understanding of Sikhism.After, adults, or young adults, can progress to denser texts.

This is a fairly short book.Let this be an indication that it will not get caught up in philosophical discussion.It merely gives you the facts about this religion.It explains the history, some of the characteristics (like the 5 k's), and the special occasions (all of which seem to deal with the reading of the "Guru Granth").

In the back of the book is a glossary to help you remember and work with the text.I found the book written in such a way that I did not need to refer back to it.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know about Sikhism. ... Read more

Product Description
Six studies of six faiths.

The World Religions series explores the major religions of our world today. Focusing on the six main religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism, each title looks first at one person's experience, and then examines the facts, arguments and opinions from around the globe.

Young readers will learn about their own faiths and will receive answers to important questions such as: What is Jewish Law? What is enlightenment? Do Sikhs believe in an afterlife? Should we question the truth of religious books such as the Bible? What does the Hindu way of life aim for? These questions and many more are explored in detail, providing readers with a glossary and resource guide for further reading.

Written by educators, these books are well researched, carefully written, and are credible resources for young students. Parents will appreciate the open and sensitive treatment of each religion. The World Religions series is an important contribution to helping increase cultural awareness and promote tolerance. ... Read more

Product Description
Guru Nanak was born in northern India in the fifteenth century. He was an ordinary person who, as he grew up, started to question the religions he saw around him, Hinduism and Islam. Instead, he chose a different way where everyone worships 'the one God' and is respected as an equal. As he got older Guru Nanak travelled and taught, attracted followers, and founded the religion known as Sikhism. This book tells you all about the life of the Guru Nanak, who he was and what he did. It explains his ideas, about the other Sikh Gurus who followed him, and how their teaching is written down in the Sikh holy book. Four key moments in his life are also retold: his birth, two stories about his travels and his followers, and his death. There is also information on sacred places, festivals and how the Guru's teaching has lasted to the present day. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Great Publication
This is a great publication that includes an in depth analysis into the Sidh Gosht. It explores the values, thoughts and ideals of the times not just within Guru Nanak's views but also within Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism.

The translation of the Sidh Gosht is a modern translation with modern language. However, I would be keen to read an original and literal translation also just to find some deeper meanings that could have been lost (although they may not have been) in the modernised translation. ... Read more
