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.
