How to be a Perfect Stranger

How to be a Perfect Strangerby Stuart M. Matlins
This easy-to-use fourth edition is updated and revised with the latest membership statistics on the various faith traditions, an expanded glossary of religious terms and an all new section on popular religious symbols. It also includes the “Everything You Need to Know Before You Go” checklist. This book helps turn the “strange” into the less confusing (but not the ordinary). Most of all, it enables the invited “stranger” to truly appreciate the experience, and enrich their own spiritual understanding.
