This introductory book not only introduces the reader to the Bab and Baha'u'llah, but also presents convincing evidence to support Their claims and missions. The author draws deeply from various books of the Old and New Testament revealing to the reader the bonds that connect the Baha'i Revelation to its ancient roots in Judaism and Christianity.
The purpose of this mini book is to invite you to learn about the most recent Messenger of God, Baha'u'llah (The Glory of God), the One promised in all the Holy Scriptures--and to catch a glimpse of the treasures of knowledge He has disclosed.
God is the Heavenly Host. He is the One who chooses the guests for His Banquet.
No one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him. -Christ (John 6:65 NIV)
You did not choose me, but I chose you... -Christ (John 15:16 NIV)
God chooses the guests, but He gives us the honor of making and sending the invitation cards. This book is such a card. It invites all thirsty ones to come forward:
Come! Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. -Christ (Rev. 22:17 NV)
Consider Baha'u'llah's teachings as flowers in the heavenly vineyard. This mini book is a little essence or perfume from those flowers. It will give you an inkling of what you will find in the rose-garden.
