Is there any ready solution for all the difficulties people encounter today in their relationships and sexual aspirations? Up to now, none have proven to work over time. The vision of the Baha'i Faith is one of evolution and progressive human development, of capacities blossoming in both women and men, of new opportunities offered by an evolving society, of a society enriched by those feminine qualities which in the past have been generally confined to the home. It suggests that whenever problems build up the answer is to combine consultation with the desire of both partners to grow as persons and in the relationship, then for them to seek sexual adjustment in this new context. Those willing to follow this new vision in relationships, and in fulfilling their sexual needs, will be recompensed with personal growth and the enrichment of their relationship.

Dr Momen examines the Baha'i approach to: * Darshana * Dharma * Moksha and gives an account of: * significant Hindu prophecies * the Baha'i social teachings, laws and history * the Baha'i community. Hinduism is one of the most ancient of the existing religious traditions; the Baha'i Faith is the most modern. Here is an introduction to the Baha'i Faith for those of the Hindu tradition. Most presentations of the Baha'i Faith have been from Western, Christian or Islamic viewpoint. This approach excludes much of the world's population. By presenting it from the perspective of the Hindu tradition, Dr Momen provides people from this background with information about the Baha'i Faith in a way which is meaningful to them while giving Baha'is new insights into their religion.

The fascinating story of a pleasure-seeking Persian boy who became one of 'Abdu'l-Baha's leading English translators and united East and West in the first Persian-American Baha'i marriage. Here is the colourful story of Ali-Kuli Khan, the first to translate into English such important works as the 'Seven Valleys', the 'Kitab-i-Iqan', and the Glad-Tidings. Told by his daughter, herself a well-known author and translator, Khan's story is based on his memoirs and personal papers. Through them we are given a unique and detailed picture of life in Persia at the end of the century, complete with an explanation of that oft-met protocol 'ta'aruf'. We follow the young Khan, dressed as a dervish, on his adventurous walk to 'Akka and note his transformation from a frivolous youth to a skilled translator for 'Abdu'l-Baha. In his nearly two years as a member of 'Abdu'l-Baha's household, Khan both translated for those first groups of American pilgrims to visit the Holy Land and rendered 'Abdu'l-Baha's Tablets into English. In 1901 Khan was sent to America to assist Mirza Abu'l-Fadl and to translate the great teacher's book, The Baha'i Proofs, into English. It was in America that Khan met and fell in love with a Boston society girl, Florence Breed. Their Victorian romance unfolds in the delicate love-letters written by Florence to Khan. Their marriage, the first between a Persian and an American Baha'i, not only symbolized but portrayed the unity between East and West taught by the Baha'i Faith. 'Summon Up Remembrance' is peopled with such familiar figures as Mirza Abu'l-Fadl, Laura Barney, Edward and Lua Getsinger, Mary Hanford Ford and the Atabak. But this is a book dedicated to 'Abdu'l-Baha, and it is His wisdom and teaching that characterizes it. A unique feature is the inclusion of the Tablet of Cremation revealed by 'Abdu'l-Baha, here published for the first time in English in a new translation by the Research Department of the Universal House of Justice. The story continues in Arches of the Years.

Profoundly conceived and meticulously researched, this book ranges over the sacred texts of the Baha'i to explore the deepest questions of existence: God, evolution, and the human soul. (World Religions)
