Prosperity, contentment, and freedom, however much
desired and conducive to the gladness of the human
heart, can in no wise compare with the trials of
homelessness and adversity in the pathway of God;
for such exile and banishment are blessed by the
divine favour, and are surely followed by the
mercy of Providence.
-`Abdu'l-Bahá

Who
is Bahá'u'lláh ? |
|
|
Bahá'u'lláh's
writings offer answers to the timeless theological
and philosophical questions that have plagued
humanity since antiquity--such as Who is God? What
is goodness? and Why are we here? He also
addresses the modern questions that have
preoccupied today's society, discussing the basic
motivations of human nature, answering whether
peace is indeed possible, and explaining how God
provides for humanity's security and welfare. >

Memorials
of the Faithful Revisited
By Ron Price
With penetrating detail, crisp style
and emphasis on the compression of facts; with
vivid images, usually not more than three or
four pages, with a concision of explanation or
commentary, with a specific point of view, a
style of biography has continued from classical
times into the twentieth century. >
