study Baha'i

I read from Gleanings a little bit at a time, with a highlighter in hand. It’s what I fit in between all the other things I’ve got going on. Definitely worth reading.

I bought a new copy of Gleanings that I have been reading slowly and highlighting passages I find personally meaningful in some way. This is much better than the used copy I got from the library that had been marked up by a “Christian” of some variety with a strong opposition to Baha’i.

I signed up for the email newsletter thing from bahai.us which includes links to articles.. this is a pretty good start for me to read a little bit periodically about the Bahai Faith and current events within the Faith.

I picked up “A Short Introduction to the Baha’i Faith” at the library and I’ve started reading that. So far I haven’t gotten very far, but I’m going to read the whole thing. It is indeed a short book.

Also, for my psychology class, I can do a project that basically consists of reading a book that is somewhat related to psychology and make notes in the margins, mark important passages with a highlighter, etc.. and turn it in for extra credit. For that I got “It’s Not Your Fault” by psychologist Patricia Romano McGraw, Ph.D., which is from Baha’i Publishing.

I’ve started reading The Hidden Words, online.. until I can eventually get a print version.. an actual book. Reading just a few passages at a time; allows me to fit it in at work between tasks and time for stuff to sink in and be absorbed.. swim around in the brain and such.
