description: Many people express a need for spiritual fulfillment but are troubled, or at best put-off, by what is often and loosely called "organized" religion. This is especially true today, when once-venerated institutions and trusted public figures have become subjects of investigation, sources of disappointment, and worse. People fear becoming victims of crime and alter their daily lives to avoid it. Terrorism committed in the name of religion and political causes painfully reminds us of how human capacities can be turned with devastating results against ourselves. At times much of the world appears to be in a state of decay, and sources of spiritual strength seem scattered and elusive. Nathan Rutstein understands this. His book, Seeking Is Religion Really What You Think It Is? describes his personal search for purpose and meaning in life, a search that led him to the Baha'i Faith and its distinctive perspective on the past, its reassuring understanding of the present, and its confident vision of the future.
