Review This Product
This is an extended letter from Shoghi Effendi to the American Baha'i Community, outlining its challenges and opportunities. Its theme reviews the three vital spiritual prerequisites for establishing a federated world commonwealth: "moral rectitude, absolute chastity and complete freedom from prejudice." The directives in this letter have never been more applicable than they are in today's society.
Now with paragraph numbers.

At 14, Richard (Ricky) Abercrombie was besieged by prejudice because of his multi-racial background and angered by unsatisfactory answers to his heartfelt questions about religious truth. The time was 1960, and the place was Greenville, South Carolina. Ricky began carrying a gun, skipping school, and numbing his painful emotions with alcohol. His parents were worried and his future looked bleak. What happened next – an invitation to a birthday party at the home of a Bahá’í family – changed his life forever. Ricky became intrigued by Bahá’í teachings on racial equality, peaceful strategies for social justice, and the fundamental unity of religion. As he investigated these teachings, Ricky experienced a profound spiritual awakening that led him to give up the gun, stop drinking, and engage in life with hope and joy. His friends and family initially opposed his dangerous new association with racially integrated groups, but Ricky’s steadfastness drew them into investigating his new beliefs themselves. This true story of how a rebellious teenager transformed his own character and affected the lives of dozens of friends and family members is a cover-to-cover delight.

Review This Product Meditations for Families is the second title in the Pause & Reflect series, which presents meditative passages from the Bahá’í sacred writings arranged around particular themes. Perhaps there is no more significant bridge between our individual lives and the life of our communities than the theme of this book: families. The passages collected explore the unique bond between wife and husband, the raising and education of children, and the vitality of the family as a whole. These writings orient us toward love and unity, equality and cooperation, and spiritual growth.

Review This Product
Siyyid Mustafá Rúmí’s nearly century-long life was one filled with tireless travel and selfless service to the Cause of God. The extent of his role in the establishment of the Bahá’í communities in the Indian subcontinent—particularly in Burma (present-day Myanmar)—cannot be overstated. The memoirs offer the reader a fascinating firsthand account of the early days of the Bahá’í Faith in the region, along with details of several pilgrimages to the Holy Land and time spent in the presence of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. Included in these passages are Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá addressed to Siyyid Mustafá Rúmí, as well as letters of the Guardian, who would posthumously appoint him as a Hand of the Cause of God and describe him as an Apostle of Bahá’u’lláh, a pioneer, and a martyr.

Review This Product The biography of a family who embraced the Bahá’í Faith in its earliest days in the United States and worked tirelessly to establish the Bahá’í community in Washington D.C. They also had the privilege of visiting and corresponding with ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, and served Him throughout His visit to North America. Author Judy Hannen Moe, the great-granddaughter of Joseph and Pauline Hannen, has combed through several archival collections in order to piece together the story of these inspiring souls. The resulting book is a treasure trove of highlights from the early days of the Faith in America, and an intimate glimpse of the lives of a handful of brilliant and devoted servants of the Cause.

Review This Product Looking at the present-day activities of the Bahá’ís as they work to translate the principles of their Faith into social reality, author John S. Hatcher examines their community-building efforts and gleans insight from a process that has taken shape on a global scale. The institute process, as part of the overarching framework for action that now lies at the heart of Bahá’í community life, ushered in immense change at the grassroots level of the Faith when it was first introduced in the late 1990s. In God’s Plan for Planet Earth Hatcher examines the historical context for the current stage of the community’s development, and, most important, he provides insight into the significance of the results being achieved.
