Are you curious about the religions of the world? Are you thinking about joining an organized religion, but you're too confused about the belief systems of the world's religions? Would you like to know where most of these religions originated from? If your answer to any of the above questions is "yes," then you should definitely read this book. If you're also trying to understand the religious standpoint of a friend or people in general, then you should read this book.

20 More Religions & Faith Practices is a book that goes into details about many of the world's religions. These religions are broken down into three classes. The "Abrahamic Religions and Faith Practices" section of the book contains religions that have some connection to either the Old Testament or the New Testament of the Bible. The second section is titled "Eastern Philosophy, Religions, and Faith Practices." I believe the religions that this section contains are evident from the title of the section. Finally, we have the "Nature-Based Religions" section of the book. The last section contains the least number of religions.

Robyn Lebron does not just scratch the surface when discussing these religions; she goes into details. She classified the topics of discussion into 11 parts. This makes it much easier to grasp. It also makes it a lot tidier. Robyn's book takes you on a journey of exploration. It takes you through the origins and doctrines of these religions. It made me see the similarities and differences between the religions mentioned. What I loved the most about this book was how she was able to do all these things without any bias. She delivered her research with an air of professionalism. She did this without giving judgment.

Although I would not say this book talked about all the religions in the world, it certainly did its best to cover as many as possible.

My least favorite thing about this book was the formatting errors in the copy I got. The copy of the book that I read had numerous formatting errors. While this did not deter me from enjoying the book's content, it was certainly frustrating occasionally. Besides this issue, I enjoyed my time reading this book. I do not consider this book a book that should be read in one sitting; I see it as a book that should be read bit by bit. I think it is a must-have in home and school libraries. Furthermore, I think it should be in every household. It is an important book in bridging the religious gaps we have these days. I believe the first step to understanding others is understanding their mindsets. This book will give you a glimpse into their religion, and that will further your understanding of their mindsets.

I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. The author has done an outstanding job with this, making this book well-deserving of this rating. However, this book does not get a four-star rating from me because of the formatting issues I encountered.
