Summary: Spiritual breadth - engaging text and luscious illustration
Review: A book every parent and child can share and enjoy fully. Although written as a "child's book", Marilyn McFarlane has brought together the widest range of spiritual experience and made it beautifully accessible and meaningful to every age. The engaging text and rich illustration make this a hard book to put down and a treasure for every home.

Summary: Fine introductory book for children on sacred myths
Review: I purchased Marilyn McFarlane's book for my three grandchildren, ages 8, 10, and 12. We have been reading the book aloud and then discussing the colorful illustrations. The sacred myths have spawned many questions from the children that we can research further. It's a wonderful introduction to the sacred myths and religions of the world.

Summary: Disturbing Images
Review: I REALLY don't like the color photo manipulations. High saturated and reversed photo collages looking like an art student 'statement' of some sort. In my opinion they are jarring and frightening to both adult and child! It is hard to understand how this distorted imagery is supposed to appeal to children... The stories are unfortunately on the brief side. Not enough detail to really transport my 10 year old.
