Three mothers from three different faiths – Islam, Christianity and Judaism meet each other regularly learning about each other’s faith better. They are not experts in their own religions so they themselves delve much deeper into their own canons whenever there are questions that could not be answered satisfactorily. Each of them has her own doubts and quibbles on how certain passages from their religious books have been misused. The misconceptions that are prevalent about certain followers of each faith are discussed and they also have a better understanding on how the untruths started. Sometimes they do have arguments which become fiery and feeling are hurt. They try and make concerted efforts to resolve the issue in an objective way. They do acknowledge that after all the years of discussions their friendship has gone stronger and would most probably survive the test of time.

A very good revelation on how issues can be resolved amicably. At least differences are accepted and each person has a better picture behind certain actions.

A definite must have book especially for those willing to take the extra effort to resolve conflicts arising from different perceptions of the same issue.
