It was really good philosophically wise and I absolutely loved it but then it started getting into the idea that nature is chaotic and man must tame it which I didn’t particularly find agreeable in my case. That made me stop reading but to each their own, other than that was a really good ready and I enjoyed it!

This is a beautifully written book which discusses key aspects of life and human existence in a very comprehensible way. This is perfect for anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of religion (specifically the Bahai faith's teachings) and the nature of mankind.

This is a lovely addition of selections from the writings of Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-Baha. However, it is not in the same order of readings or pagination as a version that was released in print over 30 years ago. For those wishing to study others with this compilation, it should be noted that the order does vary.
