description: We live at a time when the foundations of belief and faith are shaken; when attachment to a materialistic way of life is almost universally prized and pursued; and when the anthems of compassion care and love are silenced by cries of self-interest self-protection and fear and hatred of 'others'. It is increasingly evident to those who are not seduced by the prevailing materialistic way of life that materialism like a cancerous malady will eventually destroy the very civilization it has labored to create. Equally ominous is the rise of religious fundamentalism and militarism that has skewed the foundations of religion misrepresented its fundamental objectives and misapplied its considerable powers over the masses of humanity. It is evident that neither materialistic science nor unstudied religiosity will be able to correct the ills of an afflicted humanity. This book invites you to investigate issues of faith and reason and material and spiritual from the unique perspectives of the unity-based teachings of the newest world religion-the Bah' Faith-and consider its profound implications for your personal family and community life.
