Editorial reviews

The Bahai'i faith centers on its belief that all human spirituality comes from one God, and therefore stresses the unity of all with the guiding principles of tolerance and acceptance. Moojan Momen provides a handy introduction for newcomers hoping to gain greater understanding of the monotheistic religion's beliefs and practices, using comprehensive quotations from founders Baha'u'llah and his son Abdu'l-Baha, who helped to spread the religion worldwide. Miranda Nation gives Momen's descriptions a clean and respectful sensibility, and her performance creates a welcoming atmosphere for listeners intrigued by the philosophies of the Bahai'i.

A lovely read of the principles

This is an historic account of this religion. From creation, growth, challenges, persecution, along the path till today. Quite interesting in both belief and methods of organization around the world. Leave no one behind in regards to spirituality.

Extremely informative...

This helps an outsider to have a better perspective of what the Baha'i faith is. A brief synopsis of its history, and its beliefs. Too bad, there aren't more books like this.

A finely put together collection for today

Great use of Bahai qoutes to represent the Bahai faith. Flow of book from one topic to another was very well done.

Top Notch! A Faith worth Embracing

Haven recently been introduced to the Bahai religion, I am grateful to receive thru this audio book an excellent summary of how it started, what it embraces, how it is practiced, and why it is something everyone should consider.
