Book Description
An Introduction to the Study of Baha'u'llah's Seven Valleys and Four Valleys This new revised edition uses the new translations of Baha'u'llah's Seven Valleys and Four Valleys. During his sojourn in Sulaymaniyah in the 1850s Baha'u'llah came into contact with eminent Sufi leaders. In the Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys, epistles revealed for two of them, He sets forth the foundations of a renewed spiritual path. 'Abdu'l-Baha described the Seven Valleys as 'a guide for human conduct'. This major new study focuses on the historical, doctrinal and literary background of the Seven Valley and the Four Valleys, and on Baha'u'llah's revision of Sufi concepts in the light of the teachings of His new Revelation. Part 1 explains aspects of Sufi doctrine important for an understanding of Baha'u'llah's two epistles. Part 2 looks at literary works by Sufi saints, philosophers and poets quoted by Baha'u'llah, provides background to the stories and legends mentioned, and comments on aspects of Baha'u'llah's allegorical language. Part 3 offers a concise analysis of philosophical and theological themes touched on, comparing Sufi doctrine with the explanations given by Baha'u'llah both in the epistles and in later writings. Part 4 addresses the mystical paths described in the two epistles, with the intention of encouraging personal insights. 'The Baha'i Faith is essentially mystic in character, ' writes Shoghi Effendi. 'Its chief goal is the development of the individual and society, through the acquisition of spiritual virtues and powers.' Comprehensive lists of quotations in the Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys from the Qur'an and the Traditions are given in the Appendices.

Book Description
A parable to help you succeed in today’s challenging environment from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Who Moved My Cheese? A young man lives unhappily in a valley. One day he meets an old man who lives on a mountain peak. At first the young man doesn’t realize that he is talking to one of the most peaceful and successful people in the world. But in the course of further encounters and conversations, the young man comes to understand that he can apply the old man’s remarkable principles and practical tools to his own life to change it for the better. Spencer Johnson knows how to tell a deceptively simple story that teaches deep lessons. The One Minute Manager (co-written with Ken Blanchard) sold 15 million copies and stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for more than twenty years. Since it was published a decade ago, Who Moved My Cheese? has sold more than 25 million copies. In fact there are more than 46 million copies of Spencer Johnson’s books in print, in forty-seven languages—and with today’s economic uncertainty, his new book could not be more relevant. Pithy, wise, and empowering, Peaks and Valleys is clearly destined to become another Spencer Johnson classic.
