| 1. |  | The Battle for God from Ballantine Books Price: $4.60 Customer Review:  Armstrong's opening line summarizes the theme of her book.

| 2. |  | The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions from Anchor Price: $7.97 Customer Review: Some reviewers call this book "magisterial." It is vast in design and intricate in detail. It fills the horizon like a mountain -- or like a cloud? Like a whale or it is very like a weazel? That is the question that I ask, having listened to about eighty percent of the book in Armstrong's... |

| 3. |  | Islam: A Short History (Modern Library Chronicles) from Modern Library Price: $6.00 Customer Review:  The history of Islam is of much debate due to the ambiguity which surrounds it.

| 6. |  | Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time from HarperOne Price: $8.57 Customer Review: Karen in this book, as far as I read, states many views and explanations of the history of Islam and Prophet Muhammad (peace and prayer be upon him).

| 7. |  | The Bible: A Biography (Books That Changed the World) from Grove Press Price: $5.94 Customer Review: I have prayed to God for months for answers to some of my questions.

| 8. |  | Buddha from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $2.00 Customer Review: Karen Armstrong has produced an excellent biography of the Buddha, with adequate attention paid to each stage of his life and apparently meticulously researched in the Pali canon. This should stand as one of the few authenticated biographies of the man who lived 2500 years ago and attained... |
