"We have been asked by the Universal House of Justice to send you the enclosed copy of a new compilation entitled "Family Life" prepared recently at its request by the Research Department at the Baha'i World Centre. This document is intended to replace the compilation with this title which was sent with a cover letter dated 18 February 1982: it is expanded from the earlier version to include additional extracts from the Holy Writings and the letters of the Guardian as well as elucidations of various aspects of Baha'i Family Life provided by the Universal House of Justice over the past twenty six years.

It is the Hope of the House of Justice that the perusal of the contents of this compilation by the members of Baha'i families will be a source of enlightenment and strength to them as they focus their endeavours on the vital task of advancing the process of entry by troops at this critical time in the affairs of humankind.

With loving baha'i geetings,

Department of the Secretariat.

Praise for the author:

It is said that a poet would never have to leave her garden to write a lifetime of verse. Sandra Hutchison examines her life in gardens, noticing every petal and leaf, every bird call – with such care and tenderness . . . that one must listen.’

Anthony Lee

‘a sensibility attuned to nature and even more aware of nature’s inextricable relationship to the human spirit . . . a poetic voice that has been superbly refined by time and dedication to art. These poems must have been percolating for a long time.’

John Hatcher

‘Sandra Hutchison’s poems are full of lyric intensity, subtle grace, clarity, and layers.’

Michael Fitzgerald

This collection includes Celestial Navigations. Set in Castine, Maine, this sequence of poems draws on the Tablet of the Holy Mariner, a mystical work by Bahá’u’lláh, in its meditations on an ‘unravelling age’.

The story of six very special women who lived during the last four thousand years: Sara, the wife of Abraham; Asiyih, the adoptive mother of Moses; Mary, the mother of Jesus; Fatimih, the favoured daughter of Muhammad; Tahirih, as an outstanding believer in the time of The Bab; and Bahiyyih Khanum, as the beloved daughter of Baha'u'llah. Each one was blessed by being chosen by God for a Holy purpose. They shine down through the centuries and are an inspiration to millions of people, male or female, young or old.

This thought-provoking book examines the historical background and symbolic significance of the Badí‘ calendar, as well as practical issues to be resolved before it can assume its rightful place as a world calendar.

The Badí‘ calendar is derived directly from the revealed writings of both the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh and is a component part of the revelation of Bahá’u’lláh, whose teachings must be understood in their entirety as medicine for the diseases of our age. Its inherent symbolism, however, has until now remained largely unexplored, so that the systematic investigation presented by this wide-ranging, impressive study is no doubt the first of its kind.

One of the main themes of the book is that the Badí‘ calendar is creative in the sense that, through its symbolic association with different aspects of the Bahá’í Faith, it can serve to represent and illustrate many of the central tenets of the Faith. Symbol and object converge in the Badí‘ calendar in a manner which is unique in the entire revelation.

Unto God Shall We Return portrays a destiny of unutterable beauty and splendour for those who fulfill their lives' purpose during their short stay on this planet. This book brings comfort to all those who mourn the loss of their loved ones, and instills hope, peace and joy by unveiling glimpses of the glories that await anyone who fulfills his mission on earth. We are not permanent residents of this planet, but travellers on a journey to a new and exciting world.

This is a rather detailed introductory book on the Bahá’í teachings and history. It introduces the Faith in Farsi language in a simple and inviting style.

There has always been an interest in predicting the future. Roadmaps to the Future touches on a parade of predictions, it starts with Plato, includes reference to some brilliant and talented people throughout history who have made startling predictions, and compares Shoghi Effendi's 1936 projections about the future civilization with subsequent developments in each of the following areas; collective security, economics, personal matters, political factors, social issues and technical and scientific advances. The accuracy of his predictions provides a sound basis for an optimistic outlook on what is yet to come, despite the chaos of the current state of world affairs.
