Summary

Christians may be surprised to learn that seekers are increasingly looking to other religions for transformation and meaning. Why is this? How do the various world religions address people's spiritual longings? What is Christianity's unique contribution? Author, pastor, and counselor Dan Scott reveals the attraction of other religious traditions and provides effective tools Christians can use to reflect the glory of God to those who seek Him. This engaging dialogue addresses critical issues like these: What do other religions show Christians about the way people search for God? Do other religions contain elements of truth? How can churches be "seeker sensitive" and yet offer the transformation true seekers are looking for? Spiritual seekers want to know the kind of truth that will change their lives. As readers find out what the world is saying about God, they will discover how to help others on their spiritual journey.
