I need a book like this for all religions. I loved the format (question and answer, a Muslim father to his young child) and I loved the concise, reasoned, honest explanations of the fundamental principles of that misunderstood faith. This book is a victory for understanding. This is why I read books.

Plus, it has a beautiful cover. Plus plus, it's French.
