More Description
Now in its second century of existence, the Bahá'í Faith is rapidly gaining recognition as the current major independent world religion. It is second only to Christianity in its geographical spread. It offers credible proofs of its hereditary connections to the earlier Holy Land religions, and maintains its world center inHaifa, Israel.
This book presents the Bahá'í Faith as the newest chapter in the ongoing faith of the one and only God. Its aim is to acquaint readers with the message of the Bahá'í Faith, its history and its principles. It is directed to those who wish to explore the fundamental truths in religion and religious values, and who are willing to recognize truth wherever they find it. The book is suitable for individual and small group study, for use with classes on the Bahá'í Faith and comparative world religions. It is intended for serious and thoughtful people of senior high school age and older.

The deteriorating moral conditions that are spreading globally have caused devastating gaps in social behavior that endanger the well-being of all societies and nations. The growth of interest in moral and religious values has been stirring calls to action among the established religions. The Bahá'í Faith offers relevant explanations for current world problems.
