The studies and deepenings on this website were developed over a forty-five-year period by Dr. Steven E. Ellis with the vital assistance of his wife Susan, their family members, and countless Bahá’í Friends. They were designed to be used by local communities to deepen their new believers and youth in the basic teachings of the Bahá’í Faith, its purpose and organization, as well as the disciplines, laws, behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes necessary for a fulfilling spiritual life.
