This book will help all those who naturally come into contact with Sikhs. The Sikh religion is relatively unknown even among Indians, although Sikhs are identified as Indians and stand out because of their handsome turbans and beards.
First, this book gives you one of the best descriptions I have known of what the Sikh religion is all about and a clear insight into their culture and what makes them tick. It is written in a style that a British reader can easily comprehend and will help them warm towards the Sikh lifestyle.
Secondly, it will be a good tool in the hands of anyone who wants to reach out in friendship to Sikhs with confidence and tact that comes from the understanding of their spiritual heritage. Since almost half the Indians settled in the UK are of Sikh origin, this book can be a great help to those who want to share Christ with Asians.
Thirdly, the book is written in a compelling way with a deep love for Sikhs and so it can be given to a Sikh friend, so that those who are born in the UK can understand their own heritage and their need to know Christ as their personal Saviour.
Since we live in a pluralistic society, this book is a must for anyone's library.
