Along with The Secret of Divine Civilization this maps out not just the possibilities, but as seen by Baha'is, God's plan for humanity.

[Matthew LaFave · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really, really enjoyed this one. I'm sure I'll read it a few times before all is said and done. Very much filled with insight, such as this:

“Limitations of time and degree pertain to things created, never to the creation as a whole. They pertain to the forms of things, not to their realities. The effulgence of God cannot be suspended. The sovereignty of God cannot be interrupted."..."The greatest bounties of God in this phenomenal world are His Manifestations. This is the greatest postulate. These Manifestations are the Suns of Reality..."

I can't help but love that stuff. Did you know that the word 'Christ' literally means prophesied messiah? One thing I love about Scripture is that it speaks at an unconscious level, to me at least. I notice it when I am drifting off to sleep. One conclusion I've come to is that almost every Spiritual concept you can think of is contained somehow in Hindu thought, and that fact could be why it is named the "Eternal Religion" (Sanatana Dharma).
