Another good book by Karen Anderson
I just love Karen Armstrong - what can I say? This is one of her more accessible books. She's a scholar of religions and gives you a lot to chew on - more in her more difficult books ("A history of God"), but still in less demanding books like this one. You can be a devoted follower of a religion, or a person who wants to understand religion without without being committed to one, and still be rewarded by reading her works.
