One with All the Earth: An Introduction to the Baha'i Teachings

ONE WITH ALL THE EARTH: An Introduction to the Bahá'í Faith by Janice Mazidi Finally!  Here is a short and readable introduction to the Bahá'í Faith that you can give to friends and family at a reasonable price.  The book provides a quick, but moving, overview of Bahá'í history, Bahá'í social principles, and spiritual teachings--with copious quotations from the Bahá'í sacred texts.        The author begins at the beginning with Baha'u'llah.  She plunges right into a history of his life, his arrest and imprisonment, his writings, and his triumph over his enemies.  Her effort is to knit the heart of the seeker first to the Manifestation of God.  This focus on Baha'u'llah is the bulk of the little volume.        But the author also includes chapters on the twelve social principles of the Faith proclaimed by 'Abdu'l-Baha during his travels in the West.  She quotes liberally from his public talks.        The book addresses the reader's spiritual quest, inviting the seeker to investigate Bahá'í paths to the spirit.        This is a new introduction to the teachings, suitable for seekers, youth, or just ordinary Bahá'ís.
