The Book of CertitudeThis sacred text lays down the basic teachings of Bahá?u'lláh on the essential unity of purpose behind the Manifestations of God, and explains the solid spiritual meaning of most literally interpreted predictions. Consisting of over two-hundred pages, written in the space of just two days, its remarkable lucidity, its foundational explanation of the universal purpose behind religion, its clarification of how to foster authentic human spiritual nature, and its assistance in helping to clear away long-held distractions and misapprehensions, principally from the accumulated traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam while reinforcing their genuine Divine origin, make this work one of the pivotal writings of His unmatched Dispensation. No reader who weighs even a small part of its content can deny that he or she has in their hands something welling out from a Realm beyond the normal range of human inspiration. |
