[Gayle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book addresses the topics of Trusting God, Learning to Know and Love God, Prayer and Meditation, Detachment, Tests and Ordeals, Health and Healing, just to name a few. These are all writings from Baha'u'llah, the Prophet Founder of the Baha'i Faith and His son Abdu'l-Baha.
Nice to read these writings every day.

Have you considered that living can be elevated to a divine art?

Henry David Thoreau wrote “To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour.”
