Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeling Disconnected? This new book reveals spiritual ties between self, family, and community. A Wayfarer's Guide describes a journey to fulfillment. Is spiritual development simply a personal matter, or can it translate into a better connection with our families and communities? In turn, how does the outside world act on us spiritually?

The book explores issues that shape our lives and the lives of those around us: the vital role of personal transformation in spiritual growth, the importance of spiritual training in raising children, the divine purpose of marriage and family, and processes for building strong communities.

Download or read book Seeking Faith written by Nathan Rutstein and published by Baha'i Publishing Trust. This book was released on 2002 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people express a need for spiritual fulfillment but are troubled, or at best put-off, by what is often and loosely called "organized" religion. This is especially true today, when once-venerated institutions and trusted public figures have become subjects of investigation, sources of disappointment, and worse. People fear becoming victims of crime and alter their daily lives to avoid it. Terrorism committed in the name of religion and political causes painfully reminds us of how human capacities can be turned with devastating results against ourselves. At times much of the world appears to be in a state of decay, and sources of spiritual strength seem scattered and elusive. Nathan Rutstein understands this. His book, Seeking Faith: Is Religion Really What You Think It Is? describes his personal search for purpose and meaning in life, a search that led him to the Baha'i Faith and its distinctive perspective on the past, its reassuring understanding of the present, and its confident vision of the future.
Download or read book God Speaks Again written by Kenneth E. Bowers and published by Baha'i Publishing Trust. This book was released on 2004 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God Speaks Again is a comprehensive introduction to the Baha'i Faith. Members of the Baha'i religion believe that periodically throughout history, God has revealed Himself to humanity through Divine Messengers-among them Abraham, Zoroaster, Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad-each offering fresh spiritual teachings suited for the age in which they appear. Bowers quotes extensively from Baha'u'llah 's own writings, which Baha'is regard as the most recent Divine Revelation for humankind, providing a welcome glimpse into its power and majesty. In placing the life of Baha'u'llah at the center of the story, he reveals an authentically inspiring figure and the inseparable connection between a new religion and an extraordinary human being touched by His Creator.

Download or read book The Rise of an African Middle Class written by Michael O. West and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-19 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at Africans who challenged the status quo in colonial Zimbabwe: “Impeccable and original scholarship.” —American Historical Review Tracing their quest for social recognition from the time of Cecil Rhodes to Rhodesia’s unilateral declaration of independence, Michael O. West shows how some Africans were able to avail themselves of scarce educational and social opportunities in order to achieve some degree of upward mobility in a society that was hostile to their ambitions. Though relatively few in number and not rich by colonial standards, this comparatively better-off class of Africans challenged individual and social barriers imposed by colonialism to become the locus of protest against European domination. This extensive and original book opens new perspective into relations between colonizers and colonized in colonial Zimbabwe. “Offers an extremely sophisticated, nuanced view of the social and political construction of an African middle class in colonial Zimbabwe.” —Elizabeth Schmidt
