Revealed by Baha'u'llah in Adrianople and sent to Mirza Ahmad Yazdi who was traveling from Baghdad to see Him, the Tablet of Ahmad is one of the prayers identified by Shoghi Effendi as having been invested with a "special potency and significance." H. Richard Gurinsky explores the Tablet of Ahmad to discover its significance and importance in the lives of Baha'is today. Taking each verse in turn, he reflects on the many levels of meaning that every phrase holds and draws the reader into a deep meditation on the import of Baha'u'llah's words.
Beautiful Deepening
I am a relatively new Baha'i and picked this book up when visiting the House of Worship in Chicago during Ridvan. It was an absolute gift and helped me to have a deeper understanding of not only the Tablet of Amhad, but the origins and development of the Baha'i Faith as well. My faith was deepened as a result of reading this. Highly recommended!
Learn Well This Tablet
In my some 43 years of reading in the field of studies about the Baha'i Writings, this is my all-time favorite book! Highest possible recommendation. Even the learned introduction by Dr. Todd Lawson alone is a gold mine worth the modest cost of the book. I have reviewed the book -- and shared the story of its author -who passed away well over 20 years ago -- elsewhere online: http://bahaimosaic.blogspot.com/2012/07/learn-well-this-tablet.html
