Religion and Man: Our Story by Leif Guiteau examines different religions. The beginning of the book starts with various maps and references which are great to relate to when the author is referring to people and countries. I especially liked the different tribes which were readily identified as this gave one another sense of reality. The interesting thing about this book was the balance that it possessed. It was not overly religious and diverting between the different faiths was a brilliant idea as it kept the context light and refreshing.
Leif Guiteau delivers a wonderful book in Religion and Man: Our Story. I must admit that I was a little skeptical at first, thinking this may be somewhat regimented, but it was like a breath of fresh air. I found it very interesting and I loved all of the history that it held. I was amazed at the new facts that I never knew. My faith is Catholic, but I found similarities to my beliefs as with several other faiths. My theory is that whatever your religion, we are all praying to a higher God and it is that similarity that links us all together.
I was also fascinated by the Hindu faith and their belief in transgression after life. I had never looked at things from that perspective, yet I liked the notion of the idea to transgress to a different hierocracy until one becomes human again. The author does bring into question the authenticity of some of the documented scriptures, which I believe is questionable no matter what faith you have. Overall, I really enjoyed this book as it had the correct balance of religion and fact. A wonderful and inspiring read indeed.
