The world's major religions can feel like an overwhelming topic. But how do you help your kids understand what others believe and why it matters?

Your children are growing up in a world where their classmates fast during Ramadan, their neighbors wear turbans, and someone will eventually knock on their door with a pamphlet about a different God. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Sikhism, and groups like the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses are not abstractions in a textbook. They are the beliefs of real people your kids will meet, work with, and live alongside.

But understanding other religions does not mean losing your footing in your own. In fact, the opposite is true. The clearer you see what others believe, the more you understand what makes the gospel of Jesus unique.

What Are the World's Religions? makes this enormous subject accessible for today's young readers. Written in a warm, conversational style that respects both the reader and the religions being examined, this guide walks through nine major worldviews with:

Engaging illustrations from pop culture and everyday life that connect unfamiliar ideas to experiences kids already understand Honest, fair-minded summaries of each religion's core beliefs, practices, and sacred texts Clear comparisons to New Testament Christianity, helping young readers see where other faiths overlap, where they diverge, and why the differences matter

Whether your child is curious about what a Buddhist actually believes, unsure how to respond when a Jehovah's Witness comes to the door, or ready to explore why Christianity's claims stand apart, this book will equip them to engage the world with both confidence and compassion.

Perfect for family reading, church classes, or independent study.

Michael Whitworth is the author of several books and commentaries exploring the depth and wonder of Scripture. A graduate of Freed-Hardeman University, he preaches for the Newport Avenue Church of Christ in Bend, Oregon. When he isn't writing, he finds joy in simple things-reading a good book, capturing landscapes through his camera lens, or guzzling coffee (with a jar of M&Ms close by).
