Remaining Faithful: Meditations on Being True to Yourself, Your Relationships and Your Principles - Paperback

by Baha'u'llah (Author), Abdu'l-Baha (Author), Justice Saint Rain (Introduction by)

This is a book created to help people who are struggling to remain faithful to their primary relationship. We live in a world full of temptation, fantasy and hedonism. It is difficult, sometimes, to remain focused on what is real, lasting and of value when the rest of the world sings its siren song of self-gratification and easy familiarity. Knowing what is right is one thing. Being able to do what is right in the face of temptation and disappointments is another. Doing what is right requires the kind of soul-level understanding that comes from combining the inspiration of Scripture with the insight born of reflection. For inspiration, this book offers the Writings of Bah 'u'll h, Prophet-Founder of the Bah ' Faith, and the explanations provided by His son, 'Abdu'l-Bah . To encourage reflection, the author has provided observations and questions born of her own life experience and that of the many people she has helped throughout the years.
