Title: A Christian's Pocket Guide To Buddhism
Description: Buddhism has existed for over 2,500 years. While it started mainly as an Asian religion it is now, despite persecution, growing rapidly. It is the fastest growing religion in Australia, and there are more than 2000 temples in the USA. Buddhism and Christianity are diametrically opposed. Buddhists do not believe in a supreme God who created the universe. They believe in 'making merit' and earning their way to nirvana. How can the gospel of a loving God who gives grace, mercy and hope reach them? This guide, including an extensive glossary, will help you understand the diversity of Buddhist beliefs and communicate the gospel in a way Buddhists can understand. So whether you are travelling abroad, or meeting Buddhists at home, this is an essential tool. - Back cover.
