Poor in All Save God
Comfort and Guidance, a teaching mini-book
for Hard Times - from the Writings of the Bahá'í Faith.
Give these out at county fairs, to college students and senior centers, to personal friends and family, to store clerks and waitresses, to employers and coworkers, to service organizations and their clients, to the panhandlers you pass on the street, to the banker, lawyer or financial planner whose office you visit. It is a lovely booklet, and it is destined to be a source of comfort to hundreds of thousands of people in the difficult times ahead. Cover is printed in metallic copper and the inside text in deep brown, it is the same size as our other mini-books, 3˝x5˝" 64 pg. Priced so that even the poor can give to the poor.
As unemployment, under-employment, a sluggish economy, the threat of deflation and the drums of war continue to erode our economic security, you will meet lots and lots of people who will find this little booklet reassuring and inspiring. Directed at both people who are facing current personal financial hardship, and those who are seeking a more spiritual perspective on wealth, it combines profound prayers and quotations from the Bahá'í Writings with short, practical commentary by Justice St Rain, author of Falling Into Grace, Nine Things Men Gain from Equality of Women, and The Power of Prayer.
Because it manages to uphold the dignity and nobility of the
most destitute while still uplifting the spirit of the wealthy,
you can give it to absolutely anyone without risking offense.
By showing the relationship between personal and global prosperity
with many of the principles of the Faith, it also succeeds in
being a fairly comprehensive introduction to the Bahá'í teachings.
While it is certainly not a replacement for the Prosperity Statement,
it does cover many of the same broad issues in a format that
the average reader will find much easier to read and understand.
While the one is addressed to world leaders, this booklet speaks
to the heart of anyone who has ever struggled with the relationship
between material and spiritual wealth.
