People everywhere revere images and stories of religious figures--from Buddha and Jesus to Kuan Yin and the Virgin of Guadalupe--to remind themselves of the spiritual dimensions of life. But whether raised in a religious tradition or not, many people are mystified by spiritual icons from other cultures. This gift book for all seasons provides essential information about 27 figures from the world's wisdom traditions in a beautiful and lively graphic format--an antidote to the contemporary climate of religious discord.
