Pillars of Faith: 10 Holy Books of World Religions

This edition introduces the most impactful sacred texts, the cornerstones that have molded the greatest civilizations across the ages. These texts have sculpted belief systems, ethics, customs, principal goals, social and political structures, and the historical narratives cherished by their adherents.

The aim here is to uncover the elusive thread that links these books across centuries and millennia—the mysterious essence capable of unifying, inspiring, and commanding the minds of billions.

At their core, these sacred writings share a commonality: they address the profound questions that haunt every human soul. What is the essence of existence and spirituality? What transpires after death, and how can we secure our souls' immortality? How should we conduct our lives? How can we evolve into better individuals? What defines the ultimate good and the ultimate evil? Why do we encounter adversity, and how can we triumph over the challenges and suffering of life? How do we find happiness? What is our purpose? What is the meaning of life?
