<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This compilation offers a selection of passages on one of the key aims of the Bahâa'âi Faith-the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty on a global scale. The selections gathered here, taken from Bahâa'âi scripture and other Bahâa'âi sources, present the vision of a just and unified global civilization that is both materially and spiritually prosperous. Achieving such a vision requires individual and collective transformation, based on learning over time and through experience how to put spiritual principles into practice. This work offers a collection of passages setting out such principles and related guidance, along with a brief description of how the worldwide Bahâa'âi community is currently engaged in learning to advance economic justice at the grassroots level"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This compilation offers a selection of passages on one of the key aims of the Bahá'í Faith--the elimination of the extremes of wealth and poverty on a global scale. The Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Faith, referring to the wealth inequality that exists between and within nations, writes: "However much such conditions are the outcome of history, they do not have to define the future. . . ." The selections gathered here, taken from Bahá'í scripture and other Bahá'í sources, present the vision of a just and unified global civilization that is both materially and spiritually prosperous. Such a vision calls for transformation--on both an individual and collective level--based on the study and practical application of spiritual principles. Drawing on texts stretching from the latter half of the nineteenth century up to the present day, <i>For the Well-Being of All</i> not only presents such principles as they pertain to a wide range of themes, but includes guidance and reflection concerning their application in the modern world.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Bonnie J Taylor</b> holds a Bachelor of Arts from Northeastern Illinois University.
