Good information

Short and simple description of each of the different denominations. Differences in how the Bible is considered, how God, Jesus , and Holy Spirit are viewed, and beginnings of each denomination.

A good reference book

This is good for reference material but I have seen books that define the denominations better and at extensive study. It's a bit of light research and reading.
