Another ebook which relates the Bahá’í Faith to Christianity

 This ebook, "Jesus - in the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh", reviews what Bahá’u’lláh has written about Jesus. Both Bahá’ís and Christians may get new insights from the forty or so quotations. He is very clear about the Divine nature of Jesus.

It is hoped that those investigating the Faith will find it useful. Further reading suggestions are provided for those interested, along with other information about the Faith.

Please ebooks will be free to download during the Ridvan period (from April 21 to early May).

This blog

 A glance or two at this blog shows that the writer's interests have changed in recent years. The focus is now mostly on the writing and publishing I find myself doing despite not being a great writer.

Currently I am having another book reviewed. This one looks at what the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh say about Jesus. 

I have also started another book - a short history of the Faith. This is very presumtious of me though it does seem to fill a space. This will keep me busy for the rest of the year probably. God willing I will have the energy and capacity to finish it. I hope to add to it colour pictures, a map, a timeline, links and so on - easier with an ebook than a printed book.

Ivan Fraser's Memoirs updated

 A selection from unpublished parts of the memoir have been added. These are from the period 1965-1978. If you have the ebook just download it again.

The series of ebooks will be freely downloadable late in February.

The photo on the right is a rather blurry images of Ivan Fraser cut from a larger photo.

Ooops! Just found another photo which should be included. Next update probably. I have posted it below. It is from August 1965 and shows the community with Hand of the Cause Khazeh.

Iranian thought leaders call for an end to Bahá’í persecution

 An article at BIC notes an important development for Bahá’ís:

 "A group of more than 150 Iranian human rights advocates and social and political activists have signed a powerful public statement (in Persian with English translation) condemning the “new wave of arrests against Bahá’ís and their deprivation of basic human and civil rights.”"

Let us pray that positive change results from this!

An end to war?

 Surely mankind is reaching the point when war is something we cannot afford anymore. All our resources are needed to counter climate change and its associated troubles and to restructure our civilisation accordingly.

Bahá’u’lláh foresaw this time:

"The time must come when the imperative necessity for the holding of a vast, an all-embracing assemblage of men will be universally realized. The rulers and kings of the earth must needs attend it, and, participating in its deliberations, must consider such ways and means as will lay the foundations of the world’s Great Peace amongst men. Such a peace demandeth that the Great Powers should resolve, for the sake of the tranquillity of the peoples of the earth, to be fully reconciled among themselves. Should any king take up arms against another, all should unitedly arise and prevent him. If this be done, the nations of the world will no longer require any armaments, except for the purpose of preserving the security of their realms and of maintaining internal order within their territories. This will ensure the peace and composure of every people, government and nation."
