This collection of Baha'i Writings concerning the life of the soul in this world and in the worlds to come is thoroughly uplifting and often exhilarating! To really grasp that we are spiritual beings living in eternity *right now* and that we can continue to grow in the love and knowledge of God forever, to contemplate the awesome nature of this magnificent universe and the interconnectedness of all things--what topics could be more important, more impacting, and more exciting? This is a book I read over and over to remind myself of the beauty of this precious life, of who we really are. It restores my hope and sense of wonder and makes me so grateful to have learned of the Baha'i Faith. The collection is accompanied by a very insightful and well written introduction by Dr. John Hatcher, also a great read. Highest recommendation!
