25% off sale is extended 2 additional weeks to allow your NEW Assembly to consult on how you can help hospitals deal with the stress of the pandemic. A few weeks ago, I told you about a call from a hospital chaplain. She was in a bit of a panic. Her hospital was on lock-down. Family and friends were not allowed to visit patients, and even she and the other chaplains were having to keep their distance. Patients needed something spiritually uplifting to help them cope.  How fast could we get a case of The Interfaith Book of Comfort and Healing sent to […]

The book Why Me? continues to be relevant as we struggle through these challenging times. Why does God test humanity, and why do innocent people have to suffer in the process? The following is an excerpt from the last chapter of my book. It addresses the question of why innocent people suffer. Next week I will address the question of how and why God sends tests to humanity as a whole. Why Us, Why Them? There is only one question that is more difficult to answer than the one we began with [why do bad things happen to us], and that is the

Twenty-five years ago, Karen and I published our first edition of A Gift of Prayers. Since that time, it has sold well over 250,000 copies, and has been published in six different editions (including one in Italian).  To celebrate its Silver Anniversary, we are reducing the price by 25% between now and July 9th. And it couldn’t come at a better time. The world is in more need of prayers now than at any time since the last World War. Many people of different faiths and no faith at all are becoming open to ideas and possibilities that they never imagined

Karen and I have been living and working together 24/7 for over 20 years, so this “stay at home” thing is not much of a change for us. But for many couples and families, the quarantine is creating new stresses – either because you feel isolated, or because you feel like you have no “alone” time, or, oddly, both at the same time. Here are some books and resources that might help. And yes, although we are not “essential” we are still in operation because we can do our work without leaving home except to drop off a tub of

On Monday we got a call from a hospital administrator. She was in a bit of a panic. Her hospital was on lock-down. Family and friends were not allowed to visit patients, and even the chaplains were having to keep their distance. Patients needed something spiritually uplifting to help them cope.  How fast could we get a case of The Interfaith Book of Comfort and Healing sent to her? If your Baha’i Community could donate a supply of this powerful compilation to your local hospital, it could really help. To encourage you to do this, we are putting it on sale at

During the Fast, many people rededicate themselves to saying Allah-u-Abha 95 times every day. That’s why every year or two, we put our prayer beads on sale at this time. Use coupon code 95BEADS at checkout to receive a 15% discount on prayer beads between now and Naw-Ruz. Don’t forget that our greeting cards are also on sale until Naw-Ruz at 20% off with coupon code CARDS. Last year, Karen had just finished stringing several new styles of prayer beads. Scroll down to see some of the new ones, or click here to see them all.  With 21 different stones to choose from, there is

My envelope supplier went out of business, but before they did, they put all of their envelopes on sale. So I’ve switched out boring white envelopes for festive color envelopes for most of my Holiday and Note Cards – including my Star Naw-Ruz card that matches our flags and holiday ribbon. To celebrate the upgrade, I’m putting everything on my Greeting Card page on sale for 20% off WITH A COUPON. The Coupon code is CARDS. Just type it in to the coupon box when you get to the shopping cart. (Coupon expires at Naw-Ruz.) The Fast is a wonderful time to remember friends

If you order in the next few hours, and choose “priority mail” then your order will go out tomorrow morning and be delivered Thursday or Friday – but that is not guaranteed. Nothing in life is guaranteed except God’s love. Have a great holiday. New this week, we’ve brightened up our Ayyam-i-Ha cards with hot pink and/or translucent raspberry envelopes. They really make the cards feel festive. I am NOT expecting to run out of the cards, but I may run out of the blue Ayyam-i-Ha ribbon. To encourage you to buy the white instead, I’ve reduced the price. Illumine My
