Audio books are a new phenomenon, which make Bahá’í audio books cutting edge. In fact Bahá’í audio books are such a new endeavor that only a handful of individuals around the world are taking part in this creative pioneering endeavor.
The world at large has realized the power in audio versions of books, evidenced by the ever expanding aisles of audio books in the few remaining booksellers. It seems that it is just a matter of time before the Bahá’í community, thirsting for ways to deepen their knowledge and develop a closer relationship with Bahá’u’lláh, recognizes that audio books of the sacred, historical and secondary texts are an amazing resource for their personal and collective deepening efforts.
“let every believer look to ‘Abdu’l-Baha… Tirelessly, He expounded the teachings in every social space… Uncompromising in defence of the truth, yet infinitely gentle in manner, He brought the universal divine principles to bear on the exigencies of the age. To all without distinction… He imparted love, wisdom, comfort, whatever the particular need. While elevating their souls, He challenged their assumptions, reoriented their perspectives, expanded their consciousness, and focused their energies. He demonstrated by word and deed such compassion and generosity that hearts were utterly transformed. No one was turned awaY…. Set His example before your eyes and fix your gaze upon it; let it be your instinctive guide in your pursuit of the aim of the Plan.”
~The Universal House of Justice
“Conscious of their high calling, confident in the society-building power which their Faith possesses, they press forward, undeterred and undismayed, in their efforts to fashion and perfect the necessary instruments wherein the embryonic World Order of Bahá’u’lláh can mature and develop. It is this building process, slow and unobtrusive, to which the life of the world-wide Bahá’í Community is wholly consecrated, that constitutes the one hope of a stricken society.” ~Shoghi Effendi
“There is no time to lose. There is no room left for vacillation. Multitudes hunger for the Bread of Life. The stage is set. The firm and irrevocable Promise is given. God’s own Plan has been set in motion… Such an opportunity is irreplaceable.” ~Shoghi Effendi
