An unobtrusive view of religion

An unobtrusive, delightful book about the real meaning of living a more meaningful life. The author is a Baha'i and he places emphasis on the importance of humanity learning to live together in a harmonious way, free from prejudices of race, colour, nationality and religion. We need to keep abreast of changing times and changing conditions and not be afraid to face new challenges. The author touches on our spiritual reality and the soul's journey, and a world in which we can all live together in harmony. What goal is better than this? It is a book able to satisfy the soul's longing for the meaning of life. It demonstrates very simply the importance of recognizing the fact that God may have sent another divine messenger or spiritual guide to lead mankind out of the mess it presently finds itself in. It is not full of detail and doctrine which is refreshing. I found it helpful and encouraging. What's more it gives hope. I would recommend it to all seeking meaning and purpose in life. An easy to read book too.

Good, contribtory, but read SB 1 or God

I have to say this is a sincere effort to unify persons for peace sake and that should say enough. First, to cover the title of is religion really what you think it is, the author touches nothing new, but stimulates the biased mind in a hope to enlighten the reason for faith. I cannot say I agree with everything here, but it certanly is an effort to help many understand the pro's of faith. Second, the book takes a very realistic approach, well written, but is a bit lacking in character. I strongly recommend a book titled SB 1 or God which is much more convincing, by Karl Maddox.

A REMARKABLE WORK

Nathan Rutstein gives the reader the spiritual tools to discover the true beauty and unity of religion. This is timely work of eternal verities and practical, life-changing wisdom. Highly recommended.

Finding Yourself in the Cosmos

I loved this book for its simple examples of why, as beings created by a loving God, we have the chance to live a life otherwise unimaginable when we open ourselves to the process of seeking faith. This book also presents compelling information on the Baha'i Faith, a religion that defines what many people are coming to decide for themselves: that all religions are connected.This book also gives wonderful examples of how gaining spiritual maturity will allow you claim the life you were destined to have, to fully realize your gifts and talents and to be a force for positive change.
