Although this book is about religion, it is not a book of religious dogma. The intent is to explain the foundation, the evolution and how each of the five major systems of faith is practiced today. It examines the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and the ancient, yet still practiced by many, religions of Hinduism and Buddhism.

The author's desire for those who read the book is that they will have a better understanding and therefore a greater tolerance for those who have religious beliefs different than their own.

The conversation was facilitated by Nancy E. Murphy, MA, volunteer of the Charter for Compassion, and part of Compassionate St. Augustine, Florida, USA.
