Religious intolerance -- it is so much a part of our daily lives. The world is torn apart by it. Hatred and violence are justified in the name of religion. And yet, all hope is not lost. Goodness still has a chance. Through the ages, we have heard the voice of sanity, the voice of love and concern above the din of this madness. We had heard it when Kahlil Gibran said in The Prophet: "Your daily life is your temple and your religion. Whenever you enter into it, take with you ... all men." And we hear it again in this book. This book is an attempt to glean the best in living religious literature, and also is a guide to the understanding of the fundamental unity underlying the great religions of the world.
