Baha'u'llah, an introduction

I read this book one page at a time as I was falling asleep each night. Though a more readable account of his life and work is probably available here, I found great comfort in the words and language contained in this book.

Many of the ideas in Baha'i faith remind me of Quakerism, but the very existence of Baha'u'llah and his supposed greater than average "messenger of God" abilities really strike me as antithetical to the whole idea of equality and equal access to God's wisdom. But I am no theologian, and I have much to learn. I will keep an open mind as I broaden my religious horizons.
