About the Author
Baha'u'llah, a title of honor meaning "The Glory of God," is associated with Mirza Husayn-'Ali (1817-1892), the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith. Baha'u'llah claimed that His Divine Mission is to bring about the spiritual rebirth and the unity of mankind. His voluminous writings, collectively referred to as The Revelation of Baha'u'llah, are the foundation of the Baha'i Faith, the world's youngest independent world religion.
'Abdu'l-Baha, a title of honor meaning "Servant of the Glory," is associated with Abbas Effendi (1844-1921), the eldest son and appointed successor of Baha'u'llah, the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith. Abdu'l-Baha shared a lifetime of imprisonment and exile with his father at the hands of the Ottoman Empire.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Philosophical but simple; Simply but profound; spiiritual but not religious,
By Bob Lo (Pgh, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Reality of Man: Excerpts From The Writings Of Baha'u'llah And Abdu'l-Baha (Paperback)
Though written as excerpts from the Baha'i fundamental teachings, it is less about religion or this particular religion but more about spirituality. It is excellent for people of any religion especially if not sure about it's value. I would think it would be great for any minister dealing with less committed members or those who have no religious or spiritual aspects to their lives such as people trapped by drugs, crime, greed, etc.
To me, it primarily explained the need for that spiritual aspect by dealing with the nature of Man and God and existence. Deals with complex matters very simply so is an easy read. I suppose "deep-thinkers" will find it too shallow but I believe that is it's beauty; to capture complex issues in brief, easy to understand explantions.
