Beautiful, accurate introduction to the Baha'i Faith

Wonderfully concise and accurate, this book covers many aspects of the Baha'i Faith such as its beliefs and history in a way that simply shares the message out of love. It also includes beautiful prayers and many gorgeous passages from the Baha'i Writings, and explains how the Baha'i Faith relates to other religions. This is a book so well-written that it has been used for decades. A more recent book with a similar introduction to the Baha'i Faith is God Speaks Again by Kenneth Bowers.

A Good Read, even for Non-Bahais

As with many Bahai writings (I'm not a member, but I have been to Bahai functions, read much of their literature, and have close friends in this faith), one doesn't have to be a member to enjoy this book. A lot of what Esslemont says here is practical for anyone. Partricularly such advice as-"For a child, a teacher is necessary, but the aim of a true teacher is to teach his pupil how to do without a teacher.""The time has come when narrow national patroitisms should be merged in the wider patriotism whose country is the world."Want more?

This book told me everything.......

I just wanted to comment on how extremely informational BAHAULLAH AND THE NEW ERA was for me. I started studying the Bahai's and turned to this book. It told me everything I wanted to know, and I recommend it to anyone who has questions about this wonderful religion.
