Bahai, The New Vision, central principles and teachings

""A number of introductions to the Bahai Faith have been published over the years. The newest entry in the category, Bahai: The New Vision by Lisa Janti, takes a rather different approach. Janti not only brings her passion for her religion to her book, she allows it to shine through even though a fair portion of the book is not in her own words . . . .Janti has assembled what might loosely be termed a compilation of selections from the Bahai Writings, the Scriptures of other religions, and the observations of philosophers, scientists, artists, and poets, all woven together with her own commentary . . . An alternative for those who need something less cut and dried, something more vibrant that unites a broad range of human experience in the context of Baha'u'llah's teachings. . . . When you get your copy, I would urge you to lavish a bit of time on it and ponder the connections between the many threads Janti brings together in each section. She is, after all, an artist. It would be a mistake to approach her work as merely an academic exercise."

""There are many ways to learn about the Bahai Faith. Lisa Janti provides a simple but excellent introduction to its teachings, illustrating every point she makes with well selected passages from Bahai sacred writings. A novice will learn a great deal and an advanced student will have his knowledge refreshed by reading this book."
