The Baha'i community is composed of people from all backgrounds and
life circumstances - educated and uneducated, professional and
non-professional, healthy and unwell, mentally sound and mentally
ill; moral, obedient and edified. Some have lost every material
thing they have ever owned; some have every material thing they
need. All are called to a higher purpose than their own individual
development: to achieve oneness and unity within this diverse
community. Phyllis K. Peterson uses true stories to explain how the
Baha'i community is learning to develop true intimacy and unity
through devotional meetings, reflection meetings and home visits
and how it is learning to integrate not only the races but those
who are outcast because of mental illness or physical disability."
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.
