Rating:  Summary: The best book any human on this earth could ever read.. Review: I have been a Baha'i for fourteen years and this is the absolute best book I have ever read in my entire life. It explains the Baha'i Faith in a clear and simple way that is interesting and makes you want to turn every page. You'll learn about The Bab, or Gate, who proclaimed the faith and the tortue and suffering he went through...this book is dedicated to those who gave up their life for the faith. Inside this book you'll see so many beatiful quotes. You'll also learn about Baha'u'llah, God's latest (not last) messanger. Here's a quote my friend told me that is about Baha'u'llah. This quote is by Abdul-Baha, Baha'u'llah's son: "The blessings of Baha'u'llah are a shoreless sea, and even life everlasting is only a dewdrop therefrom. The waves of that sea are continually lapping against the hearts of the friends, and from those waves there come intimations of the spirit and ardent pulsings of the soul, until the heart giveth way, and willing or not, turneth humbly in prayer unto the Lord. Wherefore do all ye can to disengage your inner selves, that ye may at every moment reflect new speldours from the Sun of Truth."

Rating:  Summary: Excellent text on the Bahå'i Faith Review: This book is an excellent book to use in comparative religions courses as an introduction to the Bahå'i Faith. When can we hope to see it back in print?

Rating:  Summary: I was so impressed by this book I notebooked most all of it. Review: When this book came out in '85, it so affected me I did something I've never done with any full-length book: I copied down in a notebook nearly the entire book in longhand--and I wouldn't write it down unless I agreed with EVERYTHING the authors said. Why I give it 4 stars is the circa 2% I left blanks in the notebook for yet to this day remain blank--I could agree with most of what they said at those points, but not everything. Yet these ~2% concern major, crucial areas no matter how few lines in the book they cover.
