Review This Product
A groundbreaking book about the direct relationship between a woman's rights and freedoms and the economic prosperity of her country. This books looks at a variety of widespread, global issues related to gender inequality – such as violence against women, education, women and work, the role of culture – and analyzes the economic impact of the continued disempowerment and devaluation of women and their contributions at all levels of society. Although the Bahá’í Faith and its teachings are not specifically discussed in this book, the findings presented within are inspired by the Bahá’í belief in the fundamental equality of women and men.

Review This Product
This compilation offers a selection of passages on one of the key aims of the Bahá’í Faith—the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty on a global scale. The Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Faith, referring to the wealth inequality that exists between and within nations, writes: “However much such conditions are the outcome of history, they do not have to define the future. . . .” The selections gathered here, taken from Bahá’í scripture and other Bahá’í sources, present the vision of a just and unified global civilization that is both materially and spiritually prosperous. Such a vision calls for transformation—on both an individual and collective level—based on the study and practical application of spiritual principles. Drawing on texts stretching from the latter half of the nineteenth century up to the present day, For the Well-Being of All not only presents such principles as they pertain to a wide range of themes, but includes guidance and reflection concerning their application in the modern world.

From a Gnat to an Eagle is the story of Nathan Rutstein's life in his own humble words, a story of spiritual transformation and personal triumph. The child of Jewish immigrants in the Bronx, Nathan Rutstein was raised in a home devoid of books and ran the streets with gangs as a youth.

The Bahá'í Faith is increasingly acknowledged as South Carolina's second-largest religion, part of the social fabric of the state. The earliest mentions of the distinctively interracial, theologically innovative faith community in the state date back to the Civil War. Black, white and indigenous South Carolinians defied racial and religious prejudices to join the religion during the tumultuous civil rights era. From the visit of the first Bahá'í teacher in 1910 to the "Carolinian Pentecost" of the 1970s and beyond, the faith has deep roots in the Palmetto State.

Review This Product
In a groundbreaking book which imperatively calls on the world's religions to immediately look at what they have in common, noted author and scholar Brian Lepard offers hope to a world community that has become dangerously fractionalized by economic, social, religious, and political differences. In Hope for a Global Ethic Lepard cogently argues that different societies have much more in common than they might otherwise think, beginning with a profound historic and lasting belief in religion, and that our fearful and often suspicious view of other people may be overcome by exploring what is shared in these religions. Hope for a Global Ethic moves significantly beyond ideology to discuss the values that all people have shared through the faiths of the world. It is these values that offer hope in our fearful, disordered, and terrorized world.

Review This Product
In South Africa, during the harsh years of Apartheid between the years of 1948 and the 1990s, racial discrimination was at its peak. Gathering together was restricted, and certain meetings between Blacks and Whites were forbidden. Under the strictures of culture and government, though, people of different races were finding ways to collaborate for social and spiritual betterment. Author and translator Robert Mazibuko, a black South African, shares his personal accounts of teaching the Bahá'í Faith in South Africa, in partnership with Lowell Johnson, a white American. In Spite of All Barriers offers insight into how people working in unity can effect great change.
