Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Do you have a go-to source for comparative religion/philosophy studies for middle school? Today we were looking at China in Story of the World. I also had dd11 read and narrate from All Ye Lands about the country and people. Both texts mentioned that Confucius had a strong influence on the people, but neither really "laid it all out." We have talked VERY generally about other religions and philosophies. I printed out a handout asking the student to identify the characteristics and compare them to what Christianity teaches. All Ye Lands covers Islam quite a bit, but I need a source for other religions that come up in our world history studies. I want to have a book; I may check things on W-pedia, but I don't want to encourage dd11!

Your library probably has children's books about various religions; ours does, and we used several of them for a comparative religions study.
