"Gleanings from the Writing of Bahá'u'lláh", first published in 1939, is a thorough and inclusive compilation of many of the essential teachings of Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892). It has become a part of most Bahá'ís personal libraries. It contains a complete index and glossary, so that most aspects of His teachings can be looked up, such as 'life after death', Bahá'u'lláh's station and that of Muhammad, Christ, and Moses, the purpose of creation, Mankind's obligations and their waywardness, etc. He makes His own station clear with words such as these: "O Jews! If ye be intent on crucifying once again Jesus, the Spirit of God, put Me to death, for He hath once more, in My person, been made manifest unto you." His words are so powerful in most of the book that they virtually demand to be read aloud. The compiler and translator, Shoghi Effendi, Bahá'u'lláh's great-grandson, organized the book generally into thirds. First focusing on Bahá'u'lláh's station, next on the unknowable Divinity of God, then His words to His believers calling them to the highest moral and spiritual standards and to the unbelievers that they detach themselves from all acquired knowledge and search for Truth themselves. All that Christ said He could not reveal (John 16:12) can be found here!

The Hidden Words

A collection of lyrical, gem-like verses of scripture that convey timeless spiritual wisdom "clothed in the garment of brevity," The Hidden Words is one of the most important and cherished scriptural works of the Baha'i Faith. Revealed by Baha'u'llah, the founder of the religion, the verses are a perfect guidebook to walking a spiritual path and drawing closer to God. They address themes such as turning to God, humility, detachment, and love, to name but a few. These verses are among Baha'u'llah's earliest and best known works, having been translated into more than seventy languages and read by millions worldwide. This edition will offer many readers their first introduction to the vast collection of Baha'i scripture.
