Product Description:
The Bahá'í Faith is a recognized independent world religion attracting increasing attention--and followers--in the U.S. and around the globe as people from all walks of life search for practical spiritual direction and meaning in these deeply troubled times. Founded nearly 160 years ago, the Bahá'í Faith is today among the fastest-growing of world religions. With more than six million followers in 236 countries and territories, it has already become the second-most widespread faith, surpassing every religion but Christianity in its geographic reach.
The history and teachings of the Bahá'í Faith center around the inspiring person of its Founder, Bahá’u’lláh (1817-1892). The character traits He displayed throughout the course of a long and turbulent life, His voluminous and comprehensive body of written works, and impact He has already had in the world undeniably qualify Him as a major figure in world religious history.

A very good overview of the 165 year old Revelation from God, Universal Mind, Unknowable Essence, etc. known as the Baha'i Faith, Not as historically detailed as ""GOD PASSES BY" by Shoghi Effendi, this book includes many quotations from the Baha'i Writings and makes this modern day Message from God highly understandable.

I searched for the truth. Found it in compassionate socialism and the Baha'i faith. I am fulfilled...

What an incredible book and what a history , as a world religion built on the foundation of all the great religions, this new faith has ...... After reading this marvelous book , i looked and read further and have found answers to my questions about the questions we all have today and about every subject ....and reasons for the answers..... No cult here ....and it is truly what the kingdom of God on the face of the Earth will be ......You absolutely must read this book .....It is great !!!! ..... I am sure there are people who will make bad comments about this new faith, but there are no so blind as those who will not see ....... Read it before you make a judgement i would say....We all worship the same God.

I was hoping this would be a "for dummies" sort of book - a quick reference guide. It's more of a text book with long chapters. The history of the Bahai faith is DEEPLY explained. I wouldn't recommend this book if you're looking for a "basics" reference.

This is a very good introduction to the Baha'i faith. I was not at all familiar with the Baha'i's. I am a student (sort of) of religion and have always wanted to understand what the other faiths and traditions have to say, preferably by reading their main religious text (read as bible), but when you've neever heard of a faith you don't know where to look. So, I saw this on Amazon and it was touted as an intro to the Baha'i faith. It is. It gives you the basics, basically the Baha'i 101 version, of the faith, as well as the names of the major religious texts so you can buy them and read the teachings as written.
Is it preachy as Publishers Weekly states? I agree with one of the other reviewers on this. No it is not. He quotes from "scripture" as necessary to explain his point. This is a good primer to decide whether or not you want to delve deeper and understand more about the Baha'i faith.
