Dear Bahá’í Friends,

We are delighted to advise you of the availability of a new volume of Tablets entitled Light of the World: Selected Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. In a letter dated 30 April, the Department of the Secretariat of the Universal House of Justice shared the following about this publication:

“The seventy-six selections chosen for this book cover the entire period of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s ministry. They describe aspects of the life of Bahá’u’lláh—the tribulations He suffered, events in His homeland, the purpose and greatness of His Cause, and the unparalleled nature and significance of His Covenant, as well as the relentless but futile efforts to undermine and destroy it. Many of these Tablets reflect parallels between Bahá’u’lláh’s sufferings and those that the Master Himself endured during His lifetime.”

The book, published in hardcover, will be available for purchase through the Bahá’í Distribution Service in the United States at a retail price of US$20.00. It will also be available through our own Bahá’í Distribution Service (https://bookstore.bahai.ca/). It may be accessed online on the Bahá’í Reference Library at https://www.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/abdul-baha/light-of-the-world/. Additional information about this volume can be found in an article on the Bahá’í World News Service at https://news.bahai.org/story/1505/.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Karen McKye, Secretary
