Trudy and the Baha’Is’ Spiritual Path in South Carolina
Author: Annette Reynolds
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1514413639
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
The 2010 Religion Census lists the Bahai faith as the second-largest religious tradition in South Carolina. So according to the census, South Carolina has a higher percentage of Baha'is than in any other state. (Christianity remains the largest religious tradition in every state.) To many, this will come as a surprise. This true story gives a glimpse into South Carolina Bahai activities beginning in the mid-1960s. It is told by personal narratives, news stories, and archival research. This is the story of peaceful evolution toward building spiritual communities. Spiritual community building can happen in South Carolina, anywhere and everywhere in the world. The story revolves around memories of Trudy, a selfless and devoted Bahai pioneer. Bahais in South Carolina and from around the world contributed stories of traveling with Trudy and sharing the Bahai Faith. Bahais from around the world were interested in and visited South Carolina throughout the storys time frame. The authors experiences as a native of South Carolina, as well as other South Carolinians, add local flavor. What is the Bahai faith? Who are the Bahais? Who is Bahaullah? In her later years, Trudy suffered from Alzheimers. However, there were two things Trudy never forgot: her granddaughters green eyes and that Bahaullah is who he says he is.

Stumbling in the Half-Light
Author: John D. Sargent
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525516663
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
Stumbling in the Half-Light follows a self-professed “chubby little half-breed” from the Six Nations reservation as he embarks on a lifetime of spiritual adventures within the Baha’i community. Through fifty-two short, autobiographical stories, John Sargent retells a life of humour, humility, loss, and faith. John’s endearing openness leads him through a life of adventure—from a childhood on the reserve, to years in Africa, to a career in architecture and finally as an administrator of First Nations communities. But his real calling: was to bring the Baha’i faith to First Nations communities throughout North America. Some of the reviewers of the manuscript had this to say about Stumbling in the Half-Light:

The Khamsis: A Cradle Of True Gold
Author: Boris Handal
Publisher: Boris Handal
ISBN: 0648901408
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
In 1881 five brothers, known as the Báqirof-Khamsi clan, whom Bahá’u’lláh designated as Sádát-i-Khams (The Five Siyyids, in Arabic) accepted the Bahá'í Faith in the northern part of Iran. For such an intrepid decision they were automatically disinherited from the family fortune although, interestingly, became affluent later by their own toil. This book describes this wealthy family and their struggles to survive in the midst of a fanatical establishment. It is the narrative of a kinfolk using their high social position, to defend, overtly and covertly, their newly espoused religion and the vulnerable community gathered around those teachings. Bigotry, persecution and harassment could not abate their inner spiritual forces but rather strengthened their resolution for getting their religion known, recognised and protected. Going through various tumultuous Iranian social scenarios, three main waves in such a courageous family are easily recognisable namely, Siyyid Naṣru’lláh Báqirof, Siyyid Ahmad Khamsi-Báqirof, and Mas’ud Khamsi, the latter whom ultimately brought the Bahá'í Faith to ten of thousands of indigenous people of South America. An exemplary trilogy taking the reader to Iran, Russia, the Holy Land, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Africa and even to awe-inspiring areas such as the Amazon rainforest and the Andes mountains, exemplifying that love for humanity also travels and it never tires in giving if inspired by higher principles.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Canada is poised to reconcile its centuries-long fraught history with Indigenous peoples and to establish justice.

In this part-memoir, part-scholarly work, Patricia Verge records her decades-long friendship with the Stoney Nakoda Nation in southern Alberta. She explores how her spiritual journey has been intimately entwined with service among Indigenous people and confronts her own ignorance of the true history of Canada, taking for her guidance this quote from the writings of the Bahá’í Faith: “a massive dose of truth must be administered to heal.” An engaging and timely work, Equals and Partners is ultimately a story of love and commitment to the principle of the oneness of humanity.
