Reviews for World Religions in Microcosm: Family Practices Globally

A grand collection of thought about what is sacred and what is thought to be sacred as seen by many different points of view. Fred Alan Wolf Ph.D, (Dr. Quantum) physicist, author Uniquely inclusive in its exploration of spirituality today, World Religions in Microcosm features current global perspectives, including new religions and ancient indigenous and tribal experiences, to inspire and inform the reader. It explores alternatives to patriarchal practices not included in other world religion books. Susan Suntree, author of Sacred Sites and Wisdom of the East A wonderful introductory book that brings a whole other lens compared to other world religions books. Professor Mark Unno, University of Oregon Dr. Kimball's book is a truly creative way to introduce various religious traditions. Her narrative approach makes the enterprise of studying religion feel more human and less abstract, and she supports her ideas with robust research. Greg Cootsoma, author of Science and Religions in America
