Portals to Freedom

For those of you interested in the Baha'i Faith, I feel that you will find the story of Howard Colby Ives, (a prominent Christian Clergman of his time), both heart warming and informative. The book describes the impact of the Baha'i Faith on the early American Followers of the Religion, and details the spirituail transformation that Colby Ives goes through as he encounters Abdul Baha,(the son of the Phrophet Founder of the Baha'i Faith), when he visited the United States in the early 1900's. Howard Colby Ives became a prominent Bahai. I feel that this book is a must read, and a book that I read as I was deciding to become a Baha'i. I keep two or three extra copies to loan to other souls, seeking information about the Baha'i Faith, as was done for me.

This book is a magical account of meetings with a Christian Pastor and the son of the Founder of the Baha'i Faith, Abdu'l-Baha. Set back in 1912, you will feel as if you were there for these intimate talks with two very enlightened men. My heart was filled with joy and my eyes with tears in reading and experiencing a trip back in time to a spiritual world full of mysteries This book will leave you with a sense of joy, peace and awe at the Glory of God and our purpose in this life. This very personal book will pierce your soul.
