Fountain of Light
Spiritual Teachings for Modern Times

Picture
The following study guides are designed for an entry level exploration of the Bahá’í Faith. They are appropriate for anyone interested in studying the following spiritual principles in light of the Bahá’í teachings. They are most meaningful when used to study together as a group but can be used for individual study as well. The subjects listed cover the basic teachings of Bahá’u’lláh which were emphasized by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in his talks and tablets. For the most part, the spiritual principles outlined in these study guides were not initiated by former Manifestations of God but were revealed by Bahá’u’lláh to specifically address the needs of mankind in our modern times.

New Introductory Novel!


​“Here is that intimate fireside I've always wanted
to share with contacts, friends and relatives,
​but never had the opportunity – until now!”
 
In this insightful story the reader is invited to follow along with Rose and Grayson and be privy to their intimate conversation that only a ten-day road trip can offer.

Rose, our eighty-three year old Alaska Native received a lifelong mission from the vision of a village elder when she was just a child. As foretold by the village elder, she was later gifted with a profound spiritual truth – the Bahá’í Faith. She has endeavored her entire lifetime to convey it’s teachings to others, but feels unsuccessful. Meeting Grayson finally gives Rose the opportunity to fulfill her mission. Consequently, Grayson is transformed and finds a true home for his longing heart, as this road trip takes us from Alaska to Oregon, from search to fulfillment, and from remoteness—home.

Travel with Rose and Grayson, and treat yourself to a refreshing new perspective of spirituality and religion as it has never been told before. This heartwarming story conveys an enlightening vision of hope for all who seek a better world and search for true purpose and meaning in life.

Divine Breath
The following six study guides consist mostly of quotations from the writings of Baha'u'llah originally published in book: The Advent of Divine Justice, pages 75-85.  These quotations from Baha'u'llah are the sacred verses chosen by the beloved Guardian to infuse vision, inspire teaching, impel service and promote steadfastness in the Faith. Shoghi Effendi wrote the following regarding the importance of these passages:

 “Dearly beloved friends!  I can do no better, eager as I am to extend to every one of you any assistance in my power that may enable you to discharge more effectively your divinely appointed, continually multiplying duties, than to direct your special attention, at this decisive hour, to these immortal passages, gleaned in part from the great mass of Bahá’u’lláh’s unpublished and untranslated writings.  Whether in His revelation of the station and functions of His loved ones, or His eulogies of the greatness of His Cause, or His emphasis on the paramount importance of teaching, or the dangers which He foreshadows, the counsels He imparts, the warnings He utters, the vistas He discloses, and the assurances and promises He gives, these dynamic and typical examples of Bahá’u’lláh’s sublime utterance, each having a direct bearing on the tasks which actually face or lie ahead of the American Bahá’í community, cannot fail to produce on the minds and hearts of any one of its members, who approaches them with befitting humility and detachment, such powerful reactions as to illuminate his entire being and intensify tremendously his daily exertions.”  (ADJ, p. 75)
