FROM THE CRITICS

Children's Literature - Greg M. Romaneck

Around the globe approximately thirteen million people are members of a faith known as Sikhism. Sikhs, who primarily reside in areas of India, believe in a singular god that is tolerant and peace-loving. For Sikhs, the central religious text is the Guru Granth Sahib. In this collection of hymns drafted by the past spiritual leaders of Sikhism, or gurus, rests the major belief structure of this faith. The Guru Granth Sahib contains prayers, guides for daily living, spiritual homilies, and a variety of other structures of faith. It is this spiritual text that author Anita Ganeri describes in this illustrated volume. As part of the "Sacred Texts" series, this particular book features a concise look at one of the faiths that people turn to in our sometimes-troubled world. By presenting this relatively little know faith in a clear and understandable manner, Ms. Ganeri provides readers with insights into a world of faith that is both fascinating and enlightening. 2004, Smart Apple Media, Ages 10 to 14.
