🔊Turn your audio on to listen to an excerpt from God Speaks Again: An Introduction to the Bahá’í Faith by Kenneth E. Bowers.
The Baha’i Faith is a recognized independent world religion attracting increasing attention-and a growing number of followers-in the U.S. and around the globe as people from all walks of life search for practical spiritual direction and confident hope for the future. God Speaks Again tells the story of this thoroughly inclusive religion and describes how the history and teachings of the Baha’i Faith center around the inspiring person of its Prophet and Founder, Baha’u’llah (1817-1892), Whom Baha’is around the world regard as the Messenger of God for this day.

Author Littlebrave Beaston introduces her book from the Change Maker series, Warrior Grandma: The Story of Patricia Locke.
Patricia Locke—whose Lakota name, Thawáchin Wašté Win, means “Compassionate Woman”—courageously fought for the equality of Indigenous people in the United States and around the world. She was not only a staunch advocate for the rights of Indigenous people but a loving mother and grandmother. Patricia acted as a bridge between two cultures—white and Indigenous—and, even in the face of overwhelming difficulties, she always demonstrated compassion toward others. She embodied the qualities of a true Change Maker.

Turn your volume on to listen to an excerpt from an audio recording of Champions of Oneness by Janet Ruhe-Schoen.
Taking as its focus the years 1898–1921, Champions of Oneness portrays the lives of a handful of brilliant pioneers of race amity in the United States who gave everything they could to promote the principle of the oneness of humanity. The thread common among each of their lives was the Bahá’í Faith. Many of them had the fortune of meeting ‘Abdu’l-Baha, and would place His guidance and loving counsel at the center of their efforts. At great personal sacrifice, these early Bahá’ís traveled extensively to share the teachings of their new found Faith, and often were faced with severe challenges from those who were resistant to change.

📣New Arrival📕 Advancing the Oneness of Humanity: The Olympic Games
Author Kiser Barnes takes us on an exhilarating journey to the heart of the Olympic spirit. This compelling narrative explores how Bahá’u’lláh’s vision of the unity and oneness of humanity resonates with the Olympic Games through their shared emphasis on bringing together the diverse peoples of the world, in a spirit of harmony and cooperation. His verse, ‘The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens’ – penned in 1882, only a few years before the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 – aligns with the mission of the Olympic movement to transcend national and cultural boundaries, fostering a global community united by the values of peace, friendship and mutual respect.
