Online Dialog: Divine Art of Living
Each first and third Friday, 7:30 pm. Please join my book deepening: The Divine Art of Living: Selections from the Writings of Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l-Baha, from the Baha'i Publishing Trust. You do not need to have the book or do any homework; we will read and discuss a few passages together each time we meet. Come to one or every meeting. If you choose to get the book, it is readily available at Amazon, Borders, Baha'i Bookstore and free online at https://bahaiebooks.org/publications/divineartliving/
This book is a wonderful way to get grounded as we slowly work our way through the practical topics such as Faith and Certitude, Rectitude and Purity, Health and Healing, Peace and Unity, The Day in Which we Live, etc.
