SACRED MYTHS: STORIES OF WORLD RELIGIONS

by Marilyn McFarlane

Sacred Myths retells the best-loved stories of seven world religions: Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism. Also Native American and Earth-based traditions.  McFarlane retells the myths of the founders of each of these religions, as well as the myths which narrate specific events such as the creation of the world. Written for children ages 10 and up to give them a sense of religious heritages--both their own and others--the book is colorfully illustrated. It introduces the tenets of different religions as a way of fostering understanding and tolerance by both children and adults.  35 stories, a glossary, pronunciation key and book list for further reading

It is a first-place Benjamin Franklin Award winner and was also selected by Book-of-the-Month One Spirit Book Club as its featured selection.
