The Secret of Divine Civilization is a thorough explanation of the view of the Bah Faith on the true nature of civilization. It contains an appealing and universal message inspiring world-mindedness and soliciting the highest human motives and attributes for the establishment of a spiritual society. Written by Abdul-Bah in the late nineteenth century as a letter to the rulers and people of Persia, it is still profoundly relevant today as a guide to creating a peaceful and productive world.

On September 10th, the first Sunday after 'Abdu'l-Baha's arrival in England, he spoke from the City Temple pulpit to the evening congregation at the special desire of the Pastor, the Reverend R. J. Campbell. Though 'Abdu'l-Baha's coming had not been advertised the Church was filled to its utmost capacity. Few that were there will ever forget the sight of that venerable figure clad in his Eastern garb, ascending the pulpit stairs to address a public gathering for the first time in his life. That this should be at a Christian place of worship in the West has its own deep significance. Mr. Campbell introduced the visitor with a few simple words in the course of which he said: "We, as the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is to us and will always be the Light of the World, view with sympathy and respect every movement of the Spirit of God in the experience of mankind, and therefore we give greeting to 'Abdu'l-Baha in the name of all who share the spirit of our Master, and are trying to live their lives in that Spirit. The Baha'i Movement is very closely akin to, I think I might say is identical with, the spiritual purpose of Christianity."

This is a book created to help people who are struggling to remain faithful to their primary relationship. We live in a world full of temptation, fantasy and hedonism. It is difficult, sometimes, to remain focused on what is real, lasting and of value when the rest of the world sings its siren song of self-gratification and easy familiarity. Knowing what is right is one thing. Being able to do what is right in the face of temptation and disappointments is another. Doing what is right requires the kind of soul-level understanding that comes from combining the inspiration of Scripture with the insight born of reflection. For inspiration, this book offers the Writings of Baha'u'llah, Prophet-Founder of the Baha'i Faith, and the explanations provided by His son, 'Abdu'l-Baha. To encourage reflection, the author has provided observations and questions born of her own life experience and that of the many people she has helped throughout the years.
