Part of the Indic Values Series, edited by Julius Lipner
Published by Bayeux Arts, Canada and RMEP, UK
'If I were to give a young Sikh
friend, or anyone aged from twelve to sixteen, a book on Guru Nanak, this
thoughtfully written and thought-provoking book would be it.'
-
Owen Cole, World Religions in Education
'An exceptionally clearly written introduction to Sikh beliefs,
values and practices' - RE News
With its focus on the founder of the Sikh faith, known respectfully as Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, this prize-winning book provides a refreshingly innovative approach to a popular theme. A diverse collection of illustrations - from old manuscripts to contemporary artwork, extracts from comic strip stories and photographs from everyday Sikh life - combine with an exploratory and engaging text.
Thirteen thought-provoking chapter headings explore how factors such as history, culture, community, psychology - as well as our personal and collective sense of humanity and spirituality - can help to shape to our understanding of a religious tradition as well as our own 'take' on life. With its strong visual appeal and engaging format, GURU NANAK is a stimulating resource which will be enjoyed by Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike.
