ForeWord Clarion Review "Readers will appreciate the abundant and interesting information....Various attention-getting expressions will also delight readers. Textual references to entries in the bibliography show evidence of extensive research, especially for the section about the history of Christianity. Those chapters will provide comfort to readers who feel uneasy about leaving that religion.... Even readers who will never again walk through the chapel doors may be able to bless them. With unconditional love, they will not need to hold a grudge against their original religion." Norma D.
