This book features 28 short focus topics for young couples and young parents with full lives; aspects of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being; content based on science and the Baha'i Faith; and tools for couples to collaborate, accompany, and encourage each other and their children. Throughout are stories from couples and families building well-being. A variety of topics are covered, such as exercise, nutrition, sleep, friendship, money, communication, humor, and many others.

Humanity's history is not just a collection of chance events; but instead, a long series of focused episodes that saw societies advance from wandering-hunter-gatherers back in the Stone Age, to farmers, to developers of cities, empires, and nations. Harvey Garver explores how humanity's development has been motivated, guided and energized by the world's religions, and explains how the Baha'i Faith, and its belief in "Progressive Revelation," reveals a new spiritual principle, leading to a burgeoning worldwide society with peace and prosperity for all humanity.

We now live in a society awash with alcohol and drugs, which makes abstinence appear odd, unreasonable or even fanatical. Yet everyone knows someone (often a family member) whose life has been damaged by drugs or alcohol. So this book advocates rebellion.

It makes the case for choosing a life free of alcohol and drugs – and not only for health reasons. It invites the reader to rebel against indolence, irrationality, prejudice, injustice and hatred; to stand for justice, clarity, community and compassion in the face of apathy and lethargy; to care deeply for humanity and to become a leader in the cultural change needed for society as a whole to fulfill its potential.

This is the first scholarly attempt at a systematic exposition in English of major themes to be found in the principal writings of Bahá'u'lláh. The author offers a detailed analysis of all the major works of Bahá'u'lláh, who, the author suggests, revealed them in three successive stages during His ministry.

Due to popular demand, this book is now available again at a reduced price. An essential resource for study of core, universal concepts in the arts. This book derives from the Bahá’í teachings a new, world-embracing and stimulating vision of the arts and their practice.
