A journey in progressive religious revelation Ruhe tells us that a pilgrimage to Israel constitutes a journey in progressive Revelation - a concept that is a foundation stone of the Bahai Faith but usually disputed by the leaders of other religions. It is in the Holy Land that humankind meets its first big religious stumbling block. When a religion believes that it alone holds the truth then we have laid the foundations for religious rivalry and quite possibly war and bloodshed. When a religion believes in progressive revelation, all can accept that they have received a piece of God's greater truth appropriate to that people at that time. If we believe that humankind is rather more advanced today than at the time of Adam or Moses or Jesus and if we believe in a God of love who is doing His best to help humankind progress, then it is logical to believe that God will periodically send messengers or prophets to help society make the next step forward. In the comic books of our youth the convict was very clearly identified by his clothing and his appearance; not so God's messengers. Even though Jesus' arrival was clearly predicted in the Old Testament, he arrived as the child of a poor family rather than the leader of a powerful army and there was so much confusion that the established church crucified Him rather than welcomed Him. It is therefore quite understandable that there should be a great deal of confusion surrounding the world's most recent religion - the Bahai Faith. This book has been written for those who are open to the concept of progressive revelation so that they have the information required to decide for themselves whether Baha'u'llah is in fact the most recent of God's messengers. The reader accompanies Baha'u'llah through his lifetime of persecution and is introduced to the major characters who believed in him. There are many photos that help to bring the journey to life. We are also given an insight into some of the people who met Baha'u'llah or collected information about him and who were convinced that he was indeed what he claimed to be. If you doubt the truths handed to you by the leaders of your faith; if you do not understand why religions which all purport to come from a God of love and peace fail to practice what they preach; if you are confused as to how and why humankind has turned the Holy Land into the most unholy spot on earth; if you cannot understand why there should be such rivalry over the holy places visited by pilgrims, then this would be a good book to reflect on.

Editorial Review Product Description Every historical stage is related directly back to its equivalent in Christian history so that the Western reader is forced to recognize that in spite of the strange names and places, Bahá'u'lláh and Christ followed the same Divine Path. The book ends with a description of the Bahá'í Community, an acknowledgement of some of its challenges, and a celebration of its diversity and unity. There is a short bibliography, information on how to find out more, and even a declaration form on the next-to-last page. Customer Reviews (2)

The Miracle of Love
5 stars for mom's tale, 2 for the son's Part of the book is written by Barbara Douglas, the (white) wife of (black) Carlyle Douglas who she was married to for over half a century. That part I thoroughly enjoyed. It eloquently and lovingly narrates the daily struggles, the defeats, the upsets, and the disappointments this interracial couple and their children had to deal with in postwar America. To this day, not so much has really changed. I very much identify with Barbara. Her prose is beautiful, elegant, and captivating, and her part of the book is a loving tribute to her late husband. Not for one single moment does she ever complain about the hardships she had to endure for the love of her life. What a strong, admirable woman. Her voice is suddenly silenced when she passes away, and her son David takes over. He has the same gift of observation. He tells of his siblings' struggles from drugs to alcoholism to out-of-wedlock children. Yet, his writing is far less powerful than his mother's, and politically more dogmatic. But what really throws me off is that his part of the book reads largely like an advertising pamphlet for the Baha'i faith. Pages and pages and pages are dedicated to the Baha'i teachings, and while I respect and welcome the general philosophy, "we're all one family, all one race", I feel this information is forced on me when I intended to read a book on interracial marriage, not on the Baha'i religion (Baha'i also happens to be the publisher, by the way). And that makes me doubt the validity of the whole story... is it after all only a thin veil to cover the real agenda, to proselytize? All in all, an engaging read nonetheless.
Wonderful
Marriage beyond Black and White In part two, David in a distinctly different voice and style tells the story of his early years, education, and the details of interracial family life. His style is one of simply truth, exlaining his encounters and experiences with racism, as well as the solutions he found in his search for identity. Indeed, David as a biracial child was at one-time, like a prisoner in a racially divided world.Thus he is able to give us a more balanced and unbiased perspective of this "disease" that lives on in virtually every human being. Yet the cure is attainable and David provides a thoughtful and comprehensive solution, while at the same time suggesting some tactical remedies derived in part from the Baha'i religion that may seem extreme to some but are well worth considering.It is a "must read" for anyone interested in the unity of the world.

Editorial Review Product Description The history and teachings of the Bahá'í Faith center around the inspiring person of its Founder, Bahá’u’lláh (1817-1892). The character traits He displayed throughout the course of a long and turbulent life, His voluminous and comprehensive body of written works, and impact He has already had in the world undeniably qualify Him as a major figure in world religious history.
