Warwick Baha'i Bookshop

Rather unexpectedly, we have produced 3 books at once. Two of these are introductory books, details are below.
The third book, “Words of Peace”, was produced very quickly in response to the war in Ukraine. It contains prayers for peace and unity, plus quotations from the Bahá’í Writings on how peace should be brought about, the contributory factors involved, and also the necessary spiritual aspects.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá – the Perfect Example of a Bahá’í

This is a book for young children (designed as a companion to Christine Abbas’s books on “Bahá’u’lláh” and “The Báb”). This book tells the life of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in simple terms with photographs and some delightful illustrations. Like the others, it has been written for children aged 5 to 7 years, but can also be used with children who are older than this. It includes some suggested activities which should complement the story, plus a very brief introduction to the Bahá’í Faith which may be helpful for parents or teachers.
The book is A5 in size and costs £1.

A Life of Service
– following the example of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

The 3-fold leaflet explores the different opportunities to serve, as an individual and as a community, and refers briefly to the life of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá as an example. It includes many quotations about service (mostly from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá) plus a prayer for service at the end.
 Copies are 10p each, plus postage.

We have revised and updated our leaflet on economics, which is now called “Ethical Economics – a Bahá’í Approach”. This explains some of the Bahá’í teachings designed to bring economic justice, such as profit-sharing and a world currency. It also dwells on the underlying spiritual qualities needed to achieve this, such as honesty, integrity and trustworthiness. 

The second leaflet is a slightly revised version of our leaflet on “Bahá’u’lláh – the Promised One”. This describes the sequence of Divine Messengers and explains that Bahá’u’lláh is the latest in that sequence, which will be without end. It also explains how Bahá’u’lláh has fulfilled the prophecies of the past for a great world Teacher and gives some examples of His teachings for this day, which are designed to bring about peace and justice across the globe.

Mail us below for copies. Still only 10p each (plus postage).
